ENHANCEMENTS: - * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh - connection. + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). - * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that - support mallinfo(). + BUILD CHANGES: - * "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.) + - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and + NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we + find in the /etc/group file). - * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental - but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
