-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * "make install-strip" works. (Greg Louis)
+ - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the
- time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron
- Simpson)
+ - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+ option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+ matching items.
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - 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 careful to never specify
+ a 0 value to older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
- BUG FIXES:
+ INTERNAL:
- * 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)
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
