-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
+rsync changes since last release
- BUG FIXES:
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+ * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
+ otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+ accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+ (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
- ENHANCEMENTS:
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
+ slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
+ current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
+
+ * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+ Pool.)
- * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
- visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
- rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
- file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+ * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+ for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
