ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * Lower memory use and more optimal transfer of data over
+ the socket (see the INTERNAL section for details).
+
* The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
(Bardur Arantsson)
+ * The --progress output now mentions how far along in the
+ transfer we are, including both a count of files transferred
+ and a percentage of the total file-count that we're processed.
+
BUG FIXES:
* The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
* Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
--partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
- the wire.
+ the wire. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
+ machines. (Jay Fenlason)
+
+ * Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
+
+ * When using --cvs-exclude, the exclude items we get from a
+ directory's .cvsignore file once again only affect that one
+ directory (and not all following directories too).
+
+ * When transferring a file that has group 0 with -g specified
+ (typically via -a) and not enough privs to retain the group,
+ rsync no longer complains about chown failing.
+
+ * When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER
+ part can now contain an '@', if needed (i.e. the last '@'
+ is used to find the HOST, not the first).
INTERNAL:
large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
- some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
+ some significant reductions in user-CPU time for large file
sets. (Wayne Davison)
* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.
(Wayne Davison)
+ * Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
+ (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Implemented a new algorithm for hard-link handling that speeds
+ up the code significantly. (J.W. Schultz and Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Got rid of support for protocol versions 17 and 18 (which are
+ both over 6 years old). (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * More optimal data transmission for --hard-links (protocol 28).
+
+ * More optimal data transmission for --checksum (protocol 28).
+
+ * Less memory used for holding --checksum data.
+
+ * Less memory used per-file in the file list.
+
+ * The 2 pipes used between the receiver and generator processes
+ (which are forked on the same machine) were reduced to 1 pipe
+ and the protocol improved so that (1) it is now impossible to
+ have the "redo" pipe fill up and hang rsync, and (2) trailing
+ messages from the receiver don't get lost on their way through
+ the generator over to the sender (the latter mainly affected
+ hard-link messages). (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * The reading & writing of the file list in batch-mode is now
+ handled by the same code that sends & receives the list over
+ the wire. This makes it much easier to maintain.
