-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
+
+ - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+ option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+ matching items.
+
+ - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+ filter rules.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+ - 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.
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
+ - 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 sure to never specify a 0
+ value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+ INTERNAL:
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
- in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
- timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+ compiler warning.
- INTERNAL:
+ - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
