1 NEWS for rsync 3.1.1 (UNRELEASED)
2 Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
7 - Fixed a failure to remove the partial-transfer temp file when interrupted
8 (and rsync is not saving the partial files).
10 - Changed the chown/group/xattr-set order to avoid losing some security-
11 related xattr info (that would get cleared by a chown).
13 - Fixed a bug in the early daemon protocol where a timeout failed to be
14 honored (e.g. if the remote side fails to send us the initial protocol
17 - Fixed unintended inclusion of commas in file numbers in the daemon log.
19 - We once again send the 'f' sub-flag (of -e) to the server side so it
20 knows that we can handle incremental-recursion directory errors properly
23 - Fixed an issue with too-aggressive keep-alive messages causing a problem
24 for older rsync versions early in the transfer.
26 - Fixed an incorrect message about backup-directory-creation when using
27 --dry-run and the backup dir is not an absolute path.
29 - Fixed a bug where a failed deletion might not affect the exit code.
31 - Fixed a bug that caused a failure when combining --delete-missing-args
32 with --xattrs and/or --acls.
34 - Fixed a problem with --info=progress2's output stats where rsync would
35 only update the stats at the end of each file's transfer. It now uses
36 the data that is flowing for the current file, making the stats more
37 accurate and less jumpy.
39 - Fixed an itemize bug that affected the combo of --link-dest, -X, and -n.
41 - Fixed a problem with delete messages not appearing in the log file when
42 the user didn't use --verbose.
44 - Improve chunked xattr reading for OS X.
46 - Removed an attempted hard-link xattr optimization that was causing a
47 transfer failure. (If you need to interact with an rsync 3.1.0 using
48 --hard-links & --xattrs, you can specify --protocol=30.)
50 - We now generate a better error if the buffer overflows in do_mknod().
52 - Fixed a problem reading more than 16 ACLs on some OSes.
54 - Switched Cygwin back to using socketpair "pipes" to try to speed it up.
56 - Added knowledge of a few new options to rrsync.
60 - Tweaked the temp-file naming when --temp-dir=DIR is used: the temp-file
61 names with not get an extra leading '.' prepended.
63 - Added the support/rsync-no-vanished wrapper script.
65 - Made configure more prominently mention when we failed to find yodl (in
66 case the user wants to be able to generate manpages from *.yo files).
70 - We now include an example systemd file (in packaging/systemd).
