+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.
-
- - 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.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - 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.
-
- - 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 "\\".
-
- - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include
- some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
- password mismatch, etc.).
-
- - 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 --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
+ for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
- INTERNAL:
+ - 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.
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - 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).
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
- refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+ - 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 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.
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
