| 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED) |
| 2 | Protocol: 30 (unchanged) |
| 3 | Changes since 3.0.3: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to |
| 8 | allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on system OSes). |
| 9 | |
| 10 | - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make |
| 11 | it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly |
| 14 | in incremental recursion mode. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the |
| 17 | destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that |
| 18 | a non-root copy can't affect. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful |
| 23 | for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained |
| 26 | control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output |
| 27 | using --info=progress2. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the |
| 30 | MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was |
| 31 | specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect). |
| 32 | |
| 33 | - Rsync will not send an -e option to the server if the user specifies the |
| 34 | --protocol=29 option. This lets rsync3 use an overly-restrictive server. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| 37 | |
| 38 | - Added more conditional debug output. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather |
| 41 | than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment |
| 44 | handling. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile |
| 47 | or the configure files, only for actual changes in content. |
