Output from plain -v is more similar to + what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try + to parse the output. - NEW FEATURES + * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) - * Support for LSB-compliant packaging - - * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. - - ENHANCEMENTS - - * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are - included or excluded and why. - - * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more - details. - - * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. - - * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log - file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is - open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log - file to get cleaned out by another process. - - * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing - options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more - consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not - installed on the platform. - - * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit - files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. - - * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. - - * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, - explain that we do it in a secure way. - - * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the - local machine. - - BUG FIXES: - - * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. - - * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. - - * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked - to transfer fail to transfer - - * Fix --cvs-exclude sigsegv bug. - - * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison. \ No newline at end of file + * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work + and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
