-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
- otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
+ - 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.
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
+ - 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.
+ - 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).
- BUG FIXES:
+ EXTRAS:
- * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
- slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
- current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool)
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
- trailing slashes.

- (Martin Pool)
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
