-rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :)
+rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
- ANNOUNCEMENTS
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
+ * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
+ than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
+ what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
+ to parse the output.
- NEW FEATURES
+ * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
- * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
-
- * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
-
- * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
- sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
- Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
-
- ENHANCEMENTS
-
- * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
- included or excluded and why.
-
- * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
- details.
-
- * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
-
- * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
- file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
- open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
- file to get cleaned out by another process.
-
- * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
- options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
- consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
- installed on the platform.
-
- * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
- files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
-
- * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
-
- * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
- explain that we do it in a secure way.
-
- * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
- local machine.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
-
- * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
-
- * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
- to transfer fail to transfer
-
- * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison.
-
- * Update to work with autoconf2.50 and 2.13.
-
- PLATFORMS:
-
- * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
+ * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+ and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
