+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
- not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
- rsyncd.conf file.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified
- that might have caused an infininte loop or perhaps a crash.
-
- - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
- permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
-
- - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
- basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
- is in effect.
-
- - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
- processing.
-
- - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
- addition to its use in daemon mode).
-
- - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
- processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
- newline.
-
- - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
- to it as a "file".
-
- - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
- generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
- the file by the destination filename.
-
- - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
- generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
- to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
- of the cluster.
+ - 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.
- - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
- no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the
- receiving side.
+ - 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.
- - Fixed a compatibility problem when usig --cvs-ignore (-C) and sending
- files to an older rsync without using --delete.
+ - 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.)
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
- - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
- of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
- actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all
- the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
- are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
+ - 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.
- - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
- characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
- using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+ - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+ ownership during the copy.
- - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
- some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
- password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
+ - 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).
- - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
- it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
- really did expect the socket to close).
+ - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+ allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
- - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
- back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
- silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
+ EXTRAS:
- INTERNAL:
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - 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.
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
- rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
- refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
- - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
- the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
- presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
+ - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
