"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
(Bardur Arantsson)
+ * The --progress output now mentions how far along in the
+ transfer we are, including both a count of files transferred
+ and a percentage of the total file-count that we're processed.
+
BUG FIXES:
+ * When -x (--one-file-system) is combined with -L (--copy-links)
+ or --copy-unsafe-links, no symlinked files are skipped, even
+ if the referant file is on a different filesystem.
+
* The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
- when the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -u was
+ when the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -o was
specified, and when the group of the source can't be used on
the destination and -g was specified. (Wayne Davison)
get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).

- * Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
- --partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
- shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
- the wire. (Wayne Davison)
+ * We now reset the "new data has been sent" flag at the start
+ of each file we send. This makes sure that an interrupted
+ transfer with the --partial option set doesn't keep a shorter
+ temp file than the current basis file when no new data has been
+ transfered over the wire for that file. (Wayne Davison)
* Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
machines. (Jay Fenlason)
directory's .cvsignore file once again only affect that one
directory (and not all following directories too).
+ * When transferring a file that has group 0 with -g specified
+ (typically via -a) and not enough privs to retain the group,
+ rsync no longer complains about "chown" failing.
+
* When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER
part can now contain an '@', if needed (i.e. the last '@'
is used to find the HOST, not the first).
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of group IDs for non-root
+ users: (1) It properly handles a group that the sender didn't
+ have a name for (it would previously skip changing the group
+ on any files in that group). (2) If --numeric-ids is used,
+ rsync no longer attempts to set groups that the user doesn't
+ have the permission to set.
+
INTERNAL:
* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
* Implemented a new algorithm for hard-link handling that speeds
up the code significantly. (J.W. Schultz and Wayne Davison)
+ * The --hard-link option now uses the first existing file in the
+ group of linked files as the basis for the transfer. This
+ prevents the sub-optimal transfer of a file's data when a new
+ hardlink is added on the sending side and it sorts alphabetically
+ earlier in the list than the files that are already present on the
+ receiving side.
+
* Got rid of support for protocol versions 17 and 18 (which are
both over 6 years old). (Wayne Davison)
* More optimal data transmission for --checksum (protocol 28).
- * Less memory used for holding --checksum data.
+ * Less memory is used when --checksum is specified.
+
+ * Less memory is used in the file list (a per-file savings).
- * Less memory used per-file in the file list.
+ * Changed hardlink info and file_struct + strings to use
+ allocation pools. This reduces memory use for large
+ filesets and permits freeing memory to the OS. (J.W. Schultz)
* The 2 pipes used between the receiver and generator processes
- (which are forked on the same machine) were reduced to 1 pipe and
- the protocol improved so that (1) it is now impossible to have the
- "redo" pipe fill up and hang rsync, and (2) trailing messages from
- the receiver don't get lost on their way to through generator over
- to the sender. (Wayne Davison)

+
+ * The reading & writing of the file list in batch-mode is now
+ handled by the same code that sends & receives the list over
+ the wire. This makes it much easier to maintain.
+
+ * Optimized the -x (--one-file-system) flag's handling of any
+ mount-point directories we encounter (it no longer scans the
+ contents of the mount-point dirs, just to throw away the data).
+
+ * Improved the internal uid/gid code to be more portable and
+ a little more optimized.
