-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
+ - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
+ in incremental recursion mode.
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+ - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
+ destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
+ a non-root copy can't affect.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
+ for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained
+ control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
+ using --info=progress2.
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ - 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).
- * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should
- get a warning but it should not be treated as an error. (Bill
- Nottingham)
+ - Rsync will not send an -e option to the server if the user specifies the
+ --protocol=29 option. This lets rsync3 use an overly-restrictive server.

+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- INTERNAL:
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
+ - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+ or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
