option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
matching items.
+ - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
+ a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
+ being able to get the exit status from the script.
+
- A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
filter rules.
+ - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it
+ would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
+ files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
+ copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
+
+ - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
+ and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
+ option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
+ delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
+ delete pass.
+
- You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
- older rsync will generate an error. *Be careful to never specify
- a 0 value to older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
+ older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0
+ value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
+
+ - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
+ receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use
+ of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
+ convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces
+ the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
+ moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
+ receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
+ older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
+ sides).
INTERNAL:
- Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
- - Figure out if the iconv() function has a const arg to avoid a compiler
- warning.
+ - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+ compiler warning.
+
+ - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
- Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
