(Greg Louis) - BUG FIXES: + * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the + time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron + Simpson) - * Fix possible string mangling in log files. + * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install" + accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages. + (Peter Breitenlohner) - * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. - * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with - 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. + BUG FIXES: - ENHANCEMENTS: + * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process + slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the + current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool) - * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that - support mallinfo(). + * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus) - * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress - visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, - rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the - file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) + * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin + Pool.) - * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental - but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) + * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even + for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
