Prior versions used to output too many creation events for + matching items. + + - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by + a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not + being able to get the exit status from the script. + + - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the + filter rules. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files - that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new - files). + - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to + delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate + delete pass. + + - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the + receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you + can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an + older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0 + value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.* + + INTERNAL: + + - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters + easier without forcing variables via casts. + + - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of + string-handling functions. + + - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. + + - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a + compiler warning. + + - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. + + - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. - - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the - preservation of attributes on symlinks. + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec" - and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a - per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode - transfer. + - ...
