+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
+
+ OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+ - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the
+ --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's
+ "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including
+ --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping
+ or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is
+ unchanged by default.)
+
+ - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was
+ shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk",
+ both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file
+ size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when
+ incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used
+ instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done,
+ letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still
+ be increasing as new files are found.
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
- "use chroot" enabled.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+ - 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.
- - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
- exclude rule.
+ - 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 the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+ - Added the --delete-missing option to delete user-specified files on the
+ receiver that are missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-
+ specified files generates an error).
- - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
- errno when a function failed.
+ - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
- - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+ - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
+ (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for
+ protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
+ deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
- - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+ - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+ ownership during the copy.
- - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
- newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+ - 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).
- - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
- compared against the daemon excludes.
+ - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+ allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
- - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
- (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
- checksum struct over the wire.
+ - Added a way for supplementary groups to be specified in the rsyncd.conf
+ file. Also made explicitly-set uid/gid values no longer ignored by a
+ daemon that was not run by a super-user.
- - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
- arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
+ EXTRAS:
- - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which
+ makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
+ passwd/group files from another machine.
- - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
- the daemon config file as "parameters".
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
- compatibility improvements.
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
- - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
- bleed-over into patches that follow.
+ - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
