- * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
- included or excluded and why.
-
- * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
- details.
-
- * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
-
- * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
- file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
- open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
- file to get cleaned out by another process.
-
- * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
- options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
- consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
- installed on the platform.
-
- * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
- files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
-
- * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
-
- * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
- explain that we do it in a secure way.
-
- * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
- local machine.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
-
- * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
-
- * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
-
- * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
- to transfer fail to transfer
-
- * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
- overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
- ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
-
- PLATFORMS:
-
- * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
-
- * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
- scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
-
- TESTING:
-
- * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a
- test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba
- build farm.
+ * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
+ multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. Based
+ on a patch by Rik Faith.
+
+ * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
+ useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
+ debugger. Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
