NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.3:
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
- allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on system OSes).
-
- 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 keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
- in incremental recursion mode.
-
- - 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.
-
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
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.
+ EXTRAS:
+
+ - 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:
- The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
handling.
-
- - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
- or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
