-NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
-Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.8:
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
- daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
- destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
- of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
- --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
- is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
- preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
- the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- - Fixed a bug where a deferred FLOG message would get sent from the
- generator to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite(). This
- fixes the "unexpected tag 3" fatal error.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
- or --size-only is specified.
+ - 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.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.)
+
+ - 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).
+
+ 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.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
- make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
+
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
- - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
- consistent opening comments.
+ - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
