+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
- wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
- is in effect.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
- receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
- never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
- the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).
-
- - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as
- that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position
- beyond the failed read's data.
-
- - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored
- in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by
- init).
-
- - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
- instead of silently ignoring the option.
+ - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
+ in incremental recursion mode.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
- error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
+ - 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.
- - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
- message.
+ - 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.
- - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex
- that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines.
-
- - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
- attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
- taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+ - 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:
- - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
-
- - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
- a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
- actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
