Added an extra type of --progress output + using --info=progress2. - - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older - rsync (protocols < 30): we now use a compatible block size limit. + - 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.) - - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count - (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid - checksum struct over the wire. + - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. - - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded - arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude - check happen in the better place in the sending code. + - 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. - - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). + - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file + ownership during the copy. - - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file - offsets. + - 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). - ENHANCEMENTS: + EXTRAS: - - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in - the daemon config file as "parameters". + - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes + it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. - - The description of the --inplace option was improved. + - 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. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some - compatibility improvements. - - - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the - listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect - a dot-dir arg. + - Added more conditional debug output. - - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory - from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and - the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get - rebuild without cause. + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities - (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps. + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling. - - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to - bleed-over into patches that follow. + - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
