| 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED) |
| 2 | Protocol: 31 (changed) |
| 3 | Changes since 3.0.4: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make |
| 8 | it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful |
| 13 | for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained |
| 16 | control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output |
| 17 | using --info=progress2. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). (See the |
| 20 | --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created |
| 25 | (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for |
| 26 | protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and |
| 27 | deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file |
| 30 | ownership during the copy. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the |
| 33 | MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was |
| 34 | specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect). |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to |
| 37 | allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | EXTRAS: |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes |
| 42 | it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which |
| 45 | makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on |
| 46 | passwd/group files from another machine. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| 49 | |
| 50 | - Added more conditional debug output. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather |
| 53 | than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment |
| 56 | handling. |
| 57 | |
| 58 | - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code. |
