- - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
- that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
- files).
-
- - The configure script now checks for lutimes() and lchmod() so that
- rsync can make use of them to update attributes of symlinks (on
- systems that support this).
-
- - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
- per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
-
- - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
- and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
- per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
- transfer.
-
- - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
- that take args (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
- also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
- of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
-
- - Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a
- normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer.
-
- - Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or
- improved.
-
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
+ easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
