NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED) Protocol: 31 (changed) Changes since 3.0.4: BUG FIXES: - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. 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. - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's "log format" parameter for a modifier that can request digit-grouping or human-readable output in log escapes (including --out-format). - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type. - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file ownership during the copy. - 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). - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. EXTRAS: - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on passwd/group files from another machine. 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. - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
