- - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
- --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
- patches dir and enhanced.)
-
- - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
-
- - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to
- start a daemon that had improper default option values that could
- cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects.
-
- - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
- to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
- that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
-
- - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
- the patches dir.)
-
- - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
- file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
- partial file.
-
- - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
- --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options.
-
- - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
- files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
- once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses
- --link-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
+ transfer.
