If a symlink, device, special-file, or hard-linked file is replacing an existing non-directory, the new file is created using a temporary filename and then renamed into place. Also changed the handling of a cluster of hard-linked symlinks/devices/special-files to always ensure the first item in the cluster is correct, since it doesn't really save any significant work to try to find an existing correct item later in the cluster to link with.

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.)
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
|
|
it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
|
|
|
|
- An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
|
|
its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- 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), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
|
|
deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
|
|
|
|
- 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 supplementary groups to be specified in the rsyncd.conf
|
|
file. Also made explicitly-set uid/gid values no longer ignored by a
|
|
daemon that was not run by a super-user.
|
|
|
|
- When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file,
|
|
the update should now be done in an atomic manner.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
DEVELOPER RELATED:
|
|
|
|
- The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendable, to
|
|
read better, and do better sanity checking.
|
|
|
|
- Added more conditional debug output.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
