NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
|
|
Protocol: 30 (changed)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.9:
|
|
|
|
BUG FIXES:
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
|
|
it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
|
|
|
|
- Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
|
|
option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
|
|
matching items.
|
|
|
|
- The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
|
|
a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
|
|
being able to get the exit status from the script.
|
|
|
|
- A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
|
|
filter rules.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it
|
|
would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
|
|
files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
|
|
copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
|
|
|
|
- If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
|
|
and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
|
|
option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that directory permissions of a newly-created destination
|
|
directory are handled right when --perms is left off.
|
|
|
|
ENHANCEMENTS:
|
|
|
|
- A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking
|
|
to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly
|
|
(before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory.
|
|
See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions.
|
|
|
|
- The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a
|
|
3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is
|
|
the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible
|
|
with the new incremental recursion mode.
|
|
|
|
- Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
|
|
delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
|
|
delete pass.
|
|
|
|
- You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
|
|
receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
|
|
can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
|
|
older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0
|
|
value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
|
|
|
|
- The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
|
|
receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use
|
|
of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
|
|
convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces
|
|
the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin
|
|
(rather than adding more data), and limits the in-memory storage of
|
|
the device+inode information to just the sending side for the new
|
|
protocol 30, or to the receiving side when speaking an older protocol
|
|
(note that older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on
|
|
both sides).
|
|
|
|
INTERNAL:
|
|
|
|
- Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
|
|
easier without forcing variables via casts.
|
|
|
|
- Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
|
|
string-handling functions.
|
|
|
|
- Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
|
|
|
|
- Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
|
|
compiler warning.
|
|
|
|
- Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that a daemon process doesn't mind if the client was weird and
|
|
omitted the --server option.
|
|
|
|
- Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
