Additionally restructures build switches and defines from SSE2 to SIMD,
to allow potential reuse should patches become available with SIMD
instructions for other processor architectures.
(Some minor tweaks of Jorrit's patch to avoid requiring GNU make and to
avoid C++ comments in .c files.)
Requires compilation using GCC C++ front end, build scripts have been
modified accordingly. C++ is only used when the optimization is enabled
(g++ as compiler, x86-64 build target, --enable-sse2 is passed to
configure).
(Wayne made a few tweaks, including making it disabled by default.)
The new rsh-ssl-rsync helper script (replacing stunnel-rsync) supports
openssl in addition to stunnel. The RSYNC_SSL_TYPE environment variable
can be set to specify which type of connection to use, and the first arg
to rsync-ssl can be --type=stunnel or --type=openssl to override the env
var or the default of "stunnel". The helper script now looks for
stunnel4 or stunnel on the PATH at runtime instead of having configure
look for it at compile time.
The new code tries to punch holes in the destination file using newer
Linux fallocate features. It also supports a --whole-file + --sparse +
--inplace copy on any filesystem by truncating the destination file.
Adding new-style compression that only compresses the literal data that
is sent over the wire and not also matching file data that was not sent.
This new-style compression is compatible with external zlib instances,
and will eventually become the default (once enough time has passed that
all servers support the --new-compress and --old-compress options).
NOTE: if you build rsync with an external zlib (i.e. if you specified
configure --with-included-zlib=no) you will ONLY get support for the
--new-compress option! A client will treat -z as uncompressed (with a
warning) and a server will exit with an error (unless -zz was used).
