-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser by Paul
- Mackerras.
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. Thankyou
- to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
+ - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
+ in incremental recursion mode.
- * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
+ - 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.
- * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. Thanks to Edward
- Welbourne.
+ - 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.
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. Thankyou to Jeff
- Garzik.
+ - 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.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - 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).
+
+ - 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:
+
+ - 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.
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. Based
- on a patch by Rik Faith.
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+ or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
