(Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) - - - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is - the sender, and the file-list is large. - - - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating - FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when - necessary. - - - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. - - - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed. - - - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks - that are being copied, even if they point nowhere. - - - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the - referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the - user and group of a symlink. - - - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time - rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete. - - - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to - backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative. + - 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: - - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can - use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. + - 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 --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except - that it includes copies of identical files. + - 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 support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or - --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the - patches dir and enhanced.) + - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). (See the + --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.) - - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.) + - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. - - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options - so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to - start a daemon that had improper default option values that could - cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. + - 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. - - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon - to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value - that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. + - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file + ownership during the copy. - - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from - the patches dir.) + - 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). - - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received - file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the - partial file. + EXTRAS: - - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest, - --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options. + - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes + it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. - - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some - files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at - once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses - --link-dest. + - 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. - INTERNAL: + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over - the socket. + - Added more conditional debug output. - - Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size. + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - BUILD CHANGES: + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling. - - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). + - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
