-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7
-Protocol: 27 (changed)
-Changes since version 2.5.6:
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
- Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
- --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
- 27. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
- The per-file checksum size is determined according
- to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
- reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
- corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
- checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
-
- * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
- unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.2:
+
+ OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+ - For anyone who is parsing rsync's verbose output using a script,
+ please note that the 2-line footer now uses the term "sent" instead
+ of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If you are not parsing
+ the numeric values out of this footer, your script would probably be
+ better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the indicator
+ that the verbose output is over.
+
+ - The --stats option was similarly affected to change "written" to
+ "sent" and "read" to "received".
