- "Imitation lizard skin"
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug. (Martin Pool, Andrew
- Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
-
+ - 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:
- * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4. (Jos Backus)
- (Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can
- not just link against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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).
+
+ EXTRAS:
+
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
+
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- * Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool)
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
