(Ethan Benson) BUG FIXES: - * Fix possible string mangling in log files. + * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message + unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr + and resulted in the wrong data being copied. - * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. - - * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with - 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. + * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of + "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. ENHANCEMENTS: - * --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. + + * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) - * "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 the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work + and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
