+NEWS for rsync 3.1.1 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 31 (changed)
-Changes since 3.0.9:
-
- 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 --list-only option is now affected by the --human-readable setting.
- It will display digit groupings by default, and unit suffixes if higher
- levels of readability are requested. Also, the column width for the size
- output has increased from 11 to 14 characters when human readability is
- enabled. Use --no-h to get the old-style output and column size.
-
- - 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.
-
- - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
- (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (a new line
- for protocol 31, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to
- follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount
- list that shows the counts by type. The wording of the transferred count
- has also changed so that it is clearer that it is only a count of regular
- files.
+Changes since 3.1.0:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the iconv code when EINVAL or EILSEQ is returned with a
- full output buffer.
-
- - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
- character to get translated incorrectly.
-
- - Fixed a bogus "vanished file" error if some files were specified with
- "./" prefixes and others were not.
-
- - Fixed a bug in --sparse where an extra gap could get inserted after a
- partial write.
-
- - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
- it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
-
- - Improved the propagation of abnormal-exit error messages. This should
- help the client side to receive errors from the server when it is exiting
- abnormally, and should also avoid dying with an "connection unexpectedly
- closed" exit when the closed connection is really expected.
-
- - The sender now checks each file it plans to remove to ensure that it
- hasn't changed from the first stat's info. This helps to avoid losing
- file data when the user is not using the option in a safe manner.
-
- - Fixed a data-duplication bug in the compress option that made compression
- less efficient. This improves protocol 31 onward, while behaving in a
- compatible (buggy) manner with older rsync protocols.
-
- - When creating a temp-file, rsync is now a bit smarter about it dot-char
- choices, which can fix a problem on OS X with names that start with "..".
-
- - Rsync now sets a cleanup flag for --inplace and --append transfers that
- will flush the write buffer if the transfer aborts. This ensures that
- more received data gets written out to the disk on an aborted transfer
- (which is quite helpful on a slow, flaky connection).
-
- - The reads that map_ptr() now does are aligned on 1K boundaries. This
- helps some filesystems and/or files that don't like unaligned reads.
-
- - Fix an issue in the msleep() function if time jumps backwards.
-
- - Fix daemon-server module-name splitting bug where an arg would get split
- even if --protect-args was used.
-
- 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.
-
- - The --msgs2stderr option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the
- debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket
- protocol.
-
- - 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.
-
- - 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 forward-DNS lookup for the daemon's hosts allow/deny config. Can
- be disabled via "forward lookup" parameter (defaults to enabled).
-
- - Added a way for more than one group to be specified in the daemon's
- config file, including a way to specify that you want all of the
- specified user's groups without having to name them. Also changed the
- daemon to complain about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid
- values, even when not run by a super-user.
-
- - The daemon now tries to send the user the error messages from the
- pre-xfer exec script when it fails.
-
- - Improved the use of alt-dest options into an existing hierarchy of files:
- If a match is found in an alt-dir, it takes precedence over an existing
- file. (We'll need to wait for a future version before attribute-changes
- on otherwise unchanged files are safe when using an existing hierarchy.)
-
- - Added per-user authorization options and group-authorization support to
- the daemon's "auth users" parameter.
-
- - Added a way to reference environment variables in a daemon's config file
- (using %VAR% references).
-
- - When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file,
- the update should now be done in an atomic manner.
-
- - Avoid re-sending xattr info for hard-linked files w/the same xattrs
- (protocol 31).
-
- - The backup code was improved to use better logic maintaining the backup
- directory hierarchy. Also, when a file is being backed up, rsync tries
- to hard-link it into place so that the upcoming replacement of the
- destination file will be atomic (for the normal, non-inplace logic).
-
- - Added the ability to synchronize nano-second modified times.
-
- - Added a few more default suffixes for the "dont compress" settings.
-
- - Added the checking of the RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS environment variable to allow
- the default for the --protect-args command-line option to be overridden.
-
- - Added the --preallocate command-line option.
-
- - Allow --password-file=- to read the password from stdin (filename "-").
-
- - Rsync now comes packaged with an rsync-ssl helper script that can be
- used to contact a remote rsync daemon using a piped-stunnel command.
- It also includes an stunnel config file to run the server side to
- support ssl daemon connections. See the packaging/lsb/rsync.spec
- file for one way to package the resulting files. (Suggestions for
- how to make this even easier to install & use are welcomed.)
-
- - Improved the speed of some --inplace updates when there are lots of
- identical checksum blocks that end up being unusable.
-
- - Added the --outbuf=N|L|B option for choosing the output buffering.
-
- - Repeating the --fuzzy option now causes the code to look for fuzzy
- matches inside alt-dest directories too.
-
- - The --chmod option now supports numeric modes, e.g. --chmod=644,D755
-
- - Added some Solaris xattr code.
-
- - Made an rsync daemon (the listening process) exit with a 0 status when
- it was signaled to die. This helps launchd.
-
- - Improved the RSYNC_* environment variables for the pre-xfer exec script:
- when a daemon is sent multiple request args, they are now joined into a
- single return value (separated by spaces) so that the RSYNC_REQUEST
- environment variable is accurate for any "pre-xfer exec". The values in
- RSYNC_ARG# vars are no longer truncated at the "." arg (prior to the
- request dirs/files), so that all the requested values are also listed
- (separately) in RSYNC_ARG# variables.
-
- 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.
-
- - There's a new, improved version of the lsh script in the support dir:
- it's written in perl and supports -u without resorting to using sudo
- (when run as root). The old shell version is now named lsh.sh.
-
- - There is a helper script named rsync-slash-strip in the support directory
- for anyone that wants to change the way rsync handles args with trailing
- slashes. (e.g. arg/ would get stripped to arg while arg/. would turn into
- arg/).
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - The I/O code was rewritten to be simpler and do bigger buffered reads
- over the socket. The I/O between the receiver and the generator was
- changed to be standard multiplexed-I/O (like that over the socket).
-
- - The sender tries to use any dead time while the generator is looking for
- files to transfer in order to do sender-side directory scanning in a more
- parallel manner.
-
- - A daemon can now inform a client about a daemon-configured timeout value
- so that the client can assist in the keep-alive activity (protocol 31).
-
- - The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendible, to
- read better, and do better sanity checking.
-
- - 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.
-
- - The included zlib was upgraded from 1.2.3 to 1.2.8.
-
- - Rsync can now be compiled to use an unmodified zlib library instead of
- the tweaked one that is included with rsync. This will eventually
- become the default, at which point we'll start the countdown to removing
- the included zlib. Until then, feel free to configure using:
-
- ./configure --with-included-zlib=no
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - Added more conditional debug output.
-
- - Fixed some build issues for android and minix.
+ - Fixed an issue with sending keep-alive messages to an older sender proc.
