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: - - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did - not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the - rsyncd.conf file. + - 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 a case where the generator might try to tweak the write - permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. + ENHANCEMENTS: - - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the - basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i - is in effect. + - 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. - - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after - processing. + - 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. - - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in - addition to its use in daemon mode). + - 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). - - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete - processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a - newline. + - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. - ENHANCEMENTS: + - 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 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 --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead - of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any - actual updating of the destination. + - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to + allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. - - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped - characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output - using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". + - 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. - - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include - some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, - password mismatch, etc.). + EXTRAS: - - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that - it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we - really did expect the socket to close). + - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes + it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. - INTERNAL: + - 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. - - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). + DEVELOPER RELATED: - BUILD CHANGES: + - Added more conditional debug output. - - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they - refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling. - - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that - the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s - presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. + - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
