- A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
filter rules.
+ - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it
+ would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
+ files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
+ copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
+
+ - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
+ and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
+ option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0
value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
+ - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
+ receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use
+ of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
+ convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces
+ the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
+ moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
+ receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
+ older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
+ sides).
+
INTERNAL:
- Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
