ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * Lower memory use and more optimal transfer of data over
+ the socket (see the INTERNAL section for details).
+
* The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
(Bardur Arantsson)
* 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.
+ the wire. (Wayne Davison)
* Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
machines. (Jay Fenlason)
+ * Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
+
INTERNAL:
* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
- some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
+ some significant reductions in user-CPU time for large file
sets. (Wayne Davison)
* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.
(Wayne Davison)
* Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
- (J.W. Schultz)
+ (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Implemented a new algorithm for hard-link handling that speeds
+ up the code significantly. (J.W. Schultz and Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Got rid of support for protocol versions 17 and 18 (which are
+ both over 6 years old). (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * More optimal data transmission for --hard-links (protocol 28).
+
+ * More optimal data transmission for --checksum (protocol 28).
+
+ * Less memory used for holding --checksum data.
+
+ * Less memory used per-file in the file list.
