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:
- Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
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.)
+ - 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).
- Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
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 the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+ ownership during the copy.
+
- 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).
+ - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+ allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
+
+ - 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.
+
EXTRAS:
- Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
+ - 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.
+
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- Added more conditional debug output.
- 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.
