- 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.
- Set am_daemon to -1 (from 1) when the daemon is run via rsh.
- Only disable --msgs2stderr for a normal (socket) daemon.
- Forward a -q to the server if --msgs2stderr was also specified.
- Added --no-msgs2stderr option to allow it to be overridden.
- Add the zlibx (external-code compatible) compression name.
- Re-enable zlib support with the external library so it can be
tried as a fallback if zlibx isn't available.
- Add --compress-choice=STR (aka -zz=STR) option.
- Make --cc=STR an alias for --checksum-choice=STR.
- Hook up the new compression negotiation logic.
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.)
- Add checksum negotiation to the protocol so that we can easily add new
checksum algorithms and each will be used when both sides support it.
- Increase the size of the compat_flags value in the protocol from a
byte to an int.
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.)
If both sides support the "V" compatibility flag, we send the file-list
flags as a varint instead of a 1-or-2 byte value. This upgrades the
number of reserved flag bits from 1 to 17 with very few extra bytes in
typical file-list data.
