See the + --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's + "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including + --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping + or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is + unchanged by default.) - - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right: - without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though - it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the - file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of - a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other - totally unchanged items). + - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was + shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk", + both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file + size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when + incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used + instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done, + letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still + be increasing as new files are found. - - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup - item so that we don't get an already-exists error. + BUG FIXES: - - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- - time were not honoring the --modify-window option. + - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make + it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a - per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). + - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful + for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. + + - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained + control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output + using --info=progress2. + + - Added the --delete-missing option to delete user-specified files on the + receiver that are missing on the sender (normally the absence of user- + specified files generates an error). + + - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. + + - 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. + + - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file + ownership during the copy. + + - 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). + + - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to + allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. + + - Added a way for supplementary groups to be specified in the rsyncd.conf + file. Also made explicitly-set uid/gid values no longer ignored by a + daemon that was not run by a super-user. + + EXTRAS: + + - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes + it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. + + - 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. - - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options - that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was - also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing - of a pull operation that has multiple sources. + DEVELOPER RELATED: - BUILD CHANGES: + - Added more conditional debug output. - - 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). + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of - -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling. + - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
