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