(dann frazier) (Debian #129135) +rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet) ENHANCEMENTS: - * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh - connection. - - * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that - support mallinfo(). + * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather + than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to + what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try + to parse the output. - * "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.) + * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) - * Improvements to batch mode support.
