- All the memory-allocation macros now auto-check for failure and exit
with a failure message that incudes the caller's file and lineno
info. This includes strdup().
- Added the `--max-alloc=SIZE` option to be able to override the memory
allocator's sanity-check limit. It defaults to 1G (as before).
Fixes bugzilla bug 12769.
Fix the code that writes the options and the default destination path
into the batch.sh file to be able to handle options being specified
after source/dest args.
I replaced git-set-file-times with an improved version that I wrote
recently (in python3). A new script uses it to figure out the
last-modified year for each *.[ch] file and updates its copyright.
It also puts the latest year into the latest-year.h file for the
output of --version.
The default value of the skip-compress list actually comes from the
daemon's default lp_dont_compress() value, but a while back the vars
stopped getting default values in a non-daemon run. I added a call to
reset_daemon_vars() so that the "Vars" values get set from "Defaults".
On BSD-ish systems you can type Ctrl+T to see the current file and
the progress output (in --info=progress2 format). On hosts w/o
SIGINFO, use something like "killall -VTALRM rsync" or a more
targetted "kill -VTALRM PID ..." call (as needed).
This can be used by a root-run rsync to try to make reading or writing
files safer in a situation where you can't run the whole rsync command
as a non-root user.
- The receiver now sends keep-alive messages to the generator
when it is actively doing work and hasn't sent anything
recently. This ensures that the generator won't timeout
if the receiver is working hard.
- The perform_io() code has improved keep-alive participation.
- Allow the sender to send some keep-alive messages, which
ensures that if it is in a lull, it can probe the socket.
The receiving side also switches timeout handling from the receiver to
the generator, which obviates the need for the sender to send any
keep-alive messages at all (for protocol 31 and beyond). Given this
setup, all keep-alive messages are now sent as empty MSG_DATA messages,
with MSG_NOOP messages only being understood and (when necessary) acted
upon to forward a keep-alive event to an older receiver. This is both
safer and more compatible with older versions.
