ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files - that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new - files). + - 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. - - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the - preservation of attributes on symlinks. + - 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 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. + DEVELOPER RELATED: - INTERNAL: + - Added more conditional debug output. - - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where - MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit - with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling.
