NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
Changes since 2.6.9:
BUG FIXES:
option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
matching items.
+ - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
+ a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
+ being able to get the exit status from the script.
+
+ - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+ filter rules.
+
+ - 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.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - ...
+ - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
+ delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
+ delete pass.
+
+ - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
+ receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
+ can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
+ 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.*
INTERNAL:
- Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
string-handling functions.
+ - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
+
+ - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+ compiler warning.
+
+ - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+
+ - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
