Prior versions used to output too many creation events for - matching items. - - - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by - a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not - being able to get the exit status from the script. - - - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the - filter rules. - - - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it - would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync. - - - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing" - files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the - copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats. - - - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains - and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this - option to control a remote shell's password prompt. + - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make + it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. ENHANCEMENTS: - - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking - to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly - (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory. - See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions. + - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful + for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. + + - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained + control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output + using --info=progress2. - - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a - 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is - the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible - with the new incremental recursion mode. + - 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-delay option, which is a more efficient way to - delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate - delete pass. + - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. - - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the - receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you - can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an - older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0 - value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.* + - 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. - - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and - receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use - of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently - convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces - the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin - (rather than adding more data), and limits the in-memory storage of - the device+inode information to just the sending side for the new - protocol 30, or to the receiving side when speaking an older protocol - (note that older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on - both sides). + - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file + ownership during the copy. - INTERNAL: + - 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 some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters - easier without forcing variables via casts. + EXTRAS: - - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of - string-handling functions. + - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes + it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. - - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. + - 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. - - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a - compiler warning. + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. + - Added more conditional debug output. - - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - DEVELOPER RELATED: + - 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.
