-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
- SECURITY FIXES:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
- <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
- careful about reading integers from the network.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- BUG FIXES:
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+ - 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 for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+ - 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 hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ - 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).
- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+ EXTRAS:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
- visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
- rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
- file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
