BUG FIXES:
+ - Fixed a really old bug that caused --checksum (-c) to checksum all the
+ files encountered during the delete scan (ouch).
+
- Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
- If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
- If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle
the exit status properly and generate a better error.
+ - Fixed some glitches in the double-verbose output when using --copy-dest,
+ --link-dest, or --compare-dest.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
transfer.
- Added the --compress-level option to allow you to set how aggressive
- rsync's compression should be (the option implies --compress).
+ rsync's compression should be (this option implies --compress).
+
+ - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size
+ to allow easy entry of multiples of 1000 (instead of just multiples
+ of 1024) and off-by-one values too (e.g. --max-size=8mb-1).
- - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size.
+ - The options --human-readable (-h) and --si change the output of the
+ --stats and the end-of-run summary to be easier to read.
- If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ - The --link-dest option now affects symlinks and devices (when
+ possible).
+
+ - Improved the output of hard-linked and copied files when using
+ --link-dest, --copy-dest, or --compare-dest.
+
- Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
- transfer.
+ transfer. (See the manpage for a list of the environment variables
+ that are set with information about the transfer.)
- When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
- rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
+ rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync will now only
replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
"--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
file ownership that is implied by -a.
+ - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions
+ to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx
+
- Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
- If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a protect filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
+ - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
+ better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
+ "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was transferred
+ file #5, and we still need to check 8383 files out of 9999 total.
+
- Some minor documentation improvements.
- Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
- If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining
the VA_COPY macro.
+ - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory
+ recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes.
+
