| | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED) |
| | 2 | Protocol: 30 (changed) |
| | 3 | Changes since 2.6.9: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options: |
| | 8 | it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest |
| | 11 | option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for |
| | 12 | matching items. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by |
| | 15 | a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not |
| | 16 | being able to get the exit status from the script. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the |
| | 19 | filter rules. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing" |
| | 22 | files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the |
| | 23 | copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to |
| | 28 | delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate |
| | 29 | delete pass. |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the |
| | 32 | receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you |
| | 33 | can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an |
| | 34 | older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0 |
| | 35 | value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.* |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and |
| | 38 | receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use |
| | 39 | of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently |
| | 40 | convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces |
| | 41 | the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and |
| | 42 | moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the |
| | 43 | receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that |
| | 44 | older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both |
| | 45 | sides). |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | INTERNAL: |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters |
| | 50 | easier without forcing variables via casts. |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of |
| | 53 | string-handling functions. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a |
| | 58 | compiler warning. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. |
