-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
- SECURITY FIXES:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
- process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson)
+ - 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:
- * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
- unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
- and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+ - 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.
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ - 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.
- * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
- on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+ - 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).
- * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
- unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+ 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.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
- than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
- what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
- to parse the output.
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
