- - Added the --log-file=FILE and --log-file-format=FORMAT options. These
- can be used to tell any rsync to output what it is doing to a log file.
- They work with a client rsync, a non-daemon server rsync (see the man
- page for instructions), and also allows the overriding of rsyncd.conf
- settings when starting a daemon.
-
- - The --log-format option was renamed to be --out-format to avoid confusing
- it with affecting the log-file output. (The old option remains as an
- alias for the new to preserve backward compatibility.)
-
- - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in
- the daemon's config file.
-
- - Added the "munge symlinks" daemon setting to enable the old-style
- tweaking of "unsafe" symlinks, but it can now be consistently applied
- regardless of how "use chroot" is set.
-
- - Added a new environment variable to the pre-/post-xfer exec commands (in
- the daemon's config file): RSYNC_PID. This value will be the same in
- both the pre- and post-xfer commands, so it can be used if the pre-xfer
- command wants to cache some arg/request info for the post-xfer command.
