- - 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).
-
- - When the generator is taking a long time to fill up its output buffer
- (e.g. if the transferred files are few, small, or missing), it now
- periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver
- can get started on the files sooner rather than later.
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
