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.) When some level of human-readable output is
+ enabled, the column width for the file size in the --list-only output
+ is increased.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to
+ follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount
+ list broken down by type.
+
BUG FIXES:
- 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 some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
+ character to get translated incorrectly.
+
+ - Improved the propagation of abnormal-exit error messages. This should
+ help the client side to receive errors from the server when it is exiting
+ abnormally, and should also avoid dying with an "connection unexpectedly
+ closed" exit when the closed connection is really expected.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
using --info=progress2.
- - 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 for a modifier that can request digit-grouping or
- human-readable output in log escapes (including --out-format).
+ - The --msgs2stderr option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the
+ debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket
+ protocol.
- - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
+ - Added the --delete-missing-args and --ignore-missing-args options to
+ either delete or ignore user-specified files on the receiver that are
+ missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-specified files
+ generates an error).
- - 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.
+ - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
- Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
ownership during the copy.
- Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
+ - Added a way for more than one group to be specified in the daemon's
+ config file, including a way to specify that you want all of the
+ specified user's groups without having to name them. Also changed the
+ daemon to complain about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid
+ values, even when not run by a super-user.
+
+ - Added a way to reference environment variables in a daemon's config file
+ (using %VAR% references).
+
+ - When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file,
+ the update should now be done in an atomic manner.
+
+ - Fixed a free of the wrong pointer in uncache_tmp_xattrs() (which only
+ sometimes affects an --xattr transfer when --backup is used).
+
+ - When backing up a file, try to hard-link the file into place so that the
+ upcoming replacement of the destination file will be atomic.
+
+ - Added the ability to synchronize nano-second modified times.
+
+ - Added a few more default suffixes for the "dont compress" settings.
+
+ - Added the checking of the RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS environment variable to allow
+ the default for the --protect-args command-line option to be overridden.
+
+ - Added some Solaris xattr code.
+
EXTRAS:
- Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
passwd/group files from another machine.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ INTERNAL:
- - Added more conditional debug output.
+ - The I/O code was rewritten to be simpler and do bigger buffered reads
+ over the socket. The I/O between the receiver and the generator was
+ changed to be standard multiplexed-I/O (like that over the socket).
+
+ - The sender tries to use any dead time while the generator is looking for
+ files to transfer in order to do sender-side directory scanning in a more
+ parallel manner.
+
+ - A daemon can now inform a client about a daemon-configured timeout value
+ so that the client can assist in the keep-alive activity (protocol 31).
+
+ - The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendable, to
+ read better, and do better sanity checking.
- Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
handling.
- Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
