- - When rsync deletes a directory and outputs a verbose message about
- it, it now appends a trailing slash to the name instead of (only
- sometimes) outputting a preceding "directory " string.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
- was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
- file).
-
- - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
- that already exists in the --backup-dir.
-
- - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
- setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
- mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
-
- - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
- the sender, and the file-list is large.
-
- - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
- FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
- necessary.
-
- - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
+ - 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. See also the daemon's
+ "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including
+ --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping
+ or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is
+ unchanged by default.)
+
+ - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was
+ shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk",
+ both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file
+ size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when
+ incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used
+ instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done,
+ letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still
+ be increasing as new files are found.
