-NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.2:
-
- OUTPUT CHANGES (ATTN: those using a script to parse the verbose output):
-
- - Please note that the 2-line footer (output when verbose) now uses the
- term "sent" instead of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If
- you are not parsing the numeric values out of this footer, a script
- should be better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the
- indicator that the verbose output is over.
-
- - The output from the --stats option was similarly affected to change
- "written" to "sent" and "read" to "received".
-
- - Made sure that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned with
- each newline transformed into a question mark (which makes sure that
- a filename can't span multiple lines nor cause an empty line to be
- output).
