| 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 | INTERNAL: |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters |
| 40 | easier without forcing variables via casts. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of |
| 43 | string-handling functions. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a |
| 48 | compiler warning. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. |
| 51 | |
| 52 | - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. |
