+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 the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
- it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- - 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.
-
- - 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:
- - Make sure that directory permissions of a newly-created destination
- directory are handled right when --perms is left off.
+ - 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.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - 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.
- - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking
- to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly
- (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory.
- See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions.
+ - 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).
- - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a
- 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is
- the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible
- with the new incremental recursion mode.
+ - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
- - 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.
+ - 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.
- - 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.*
+ - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+ ownership during the copy.
- - 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
- (rather than adding more data), and limits the in-memory storage of
- the device+inode information to just the sending side for the new
- protocol 30, or to the receiving side when speaking an older protocol
- (note that older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on
- both sides).
+ - 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).
- INTERNAL:
+ - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+ allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
- - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
- easier without forcing variables via casts.
+ - 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.
- - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
- string-handling functions.
+ EXTRAS:
- - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
+ - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+ it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
- - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
- compiler warning.
+ - 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.
- - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Make sure that a daemon process doesn't mind if the client was weird and
- omitted the --server option.
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
- - ...
+ - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
