-NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 31 (changed)
-Changes since 3.0.4:
-
- OUTPUT CHANGES:
-
- - 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. 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.) When some level of human-readable output is
- enabled, the column width for the file size in the --list-only output
- is increased.
-
- - 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.
-
- - 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, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to
- follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount
- list broken down by type.
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.4 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.1.3:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in incremental recursion transfers where an I/O error might
- not get noticed in time for the receiving side to disable deletions
- (requires protocol 31).
-
- - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
- it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
+ - Avoid a potential out-of-bounds read in daemon mode if argc can be made
+ to become 0.
- - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
- its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
+ - Fix xattr filter rules losing an 'x' attribute in a non-local transfer.
- - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
- character to get translated incorrectly.
-
- - Improved abnormal-exit error messages. This should help the client side
- to receive errors from the server when it is exiting abnormally, and
- should also avoid dying with an "connection unexpectedly closed" exit
- when the closed connection is really expected.
+ - Fix a compiler error/warning about shifting a negative value (in the zlib
+ code).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - 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.
-
- - The --msgs2stderr option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the
- debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket
- protocol.
-
- - Added the --delete-missing-args and --ignore-missing-args options to
- either delete or ignore 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.
-
- - 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 more than one group to be specified in the daemon's
- config file, including a way to specify that you want all of the
- specified user's groups without having to name them. Also changed the
- daemon to complain about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid
- values, even when not run by a super-user.
-
- - Added a way to reference environment variables in a daemon's config file
- (using %VAR% references).
-
- - When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file,
- the update should now be done in an atomic manner.
-
- - Fixed a free of the wrong pointer in uncache_tmp_xattrs() (which only
- sometimes affects an --xattr transfer when --backup is used).
-
- - When backing up a file, try to hard-link the file into place so that the
- upcoming replacement of the destination file will be atomic.
-
- - Added the ability to synchronize nano-second modified times.
-
- - Added a few more default suffixes for the "dont compress" settings.
-
- - Added some Solaris xattr code.
-
- 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.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - The I/O code was rewritten to be simpler and do bigger buffered reads
- over the socket. The I/O between the receiver and the generator was
- changed to be standard multiplexed-I/O (like that over the socket).
-
- - The sender tries to use any dead time while the generator is looking for
- files to transfer in order to do sender-side directory scanning in a more
- parallel manner.
-
- - A daemon can now inform a client about a daemon-configured timeout value
- so that the client can assist in the keep-alive activity (protocol 31).
-
- - The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendable, to
- read better, and do better sanity checking.
-
- - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
- than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
-
- - 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.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - Added more conditional debug output.
+ - Added support for RSYNC_SHELL & RSYNC_NO_XFER_EXEC environment variables
+ that affect the pre-xfer exec and post-xfer exec rsync daemon options.
