- If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle
the exit status properly and generate a better error.
+ - Fixed some glitches in the double-verbose output when using --copy-dest,
+ --link-dest, or --compare-dest.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
- If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ - The --link-dest option now affects symlinks and devices (when
+ possible).
+
+ - Improved the output of hard-linked and copied files when using
+ --link-dest, --copy-dest, or --compare-dest.
+
- Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
- If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a protect filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
- The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
"(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was transferred
