OUTPUT CHANGES (ATTN: those using a script to parse the verbose output):
|

|
||||
- For anyone who is parsing rsync's verbose output using a script,
|
||||
please note that the 2-line footer now uses the term "sent" instead
|
||||
of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If you are not parsing
|
||||
the numeric values out of this footer, your script would probably be
|
||||
better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the indicator
|
||||
that the verbose output is over.

"sent" and "read" to "received".

- The output from the --stats option was similarly affected to change

|

- Made sure that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned with
|
||||
each newline transformed into a question mark (which makes sure that
|
||||
a filename can't span multiple lines nor cause an empty line to be
|
||||
output).

- The --copy-links (-L) option no longer has the side-effect of telling

the receiving side to follow symlinks. See the --keep-dirlinks

option (mentioned below) for a way to specify that behavior.
