-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+ - 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 rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
- destination field.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+ - 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.
- * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
- in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
- timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+ - 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.
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - 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).
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ EXTRAS:
- * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
- contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
- list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
- INTERNAL:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ - 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 included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
