NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
using --info=progress2.
+ - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the
+ --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's
+ "log format" parameter for a modifier that can request digit-grouping or
+ human-readable output in log escapes (including --out-format).
+
+ - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
+
+ - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
+ (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for
+ protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
+ deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
+
+ - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+ ownership during the copy.
+
- Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
+ - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+ allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
+
+ - Added a way for supplementary groups to be specified in the rsyncd.conf
+ file. Also made explicitly-set uid/gid values no longer ignored by a
+ daemon that was not run by a super-user.
+
+ EXTRAS:
+
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
+
+ - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which
+ makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
+ passwd/group files from another machine.
