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. |
| |
|
| BUG FIXES: |
BUG FIXES: |
| |
|
| - Fix a crash bug in checksum scanning when --inplace is used. | - Fixed a bug in the iconv code when EINVAL or EILSEQ is returned with a |
| | full output buffer. |
| |
|
| - Fix a hang if a hard-linked file cannot be opened by the sender (e.g. | - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte |
| if it has no read permission). | character to get translated incorrectly. |
| |
|
| - Fix preservation of a symlink's system xattrs (e.g. selinux) on Linux. | - Fixed a bogus "vanished file" error if some files were specified with |
| | "./" prefixes and others were not. |
| |
|
| - Fix a memory leak in the xattr code. | - Fixed a bug in --sparse where an extra gap could get inserted after a |
| | partial write. |
| |
|
| - Fixed a bug with --delete-excluded when a filter merge file has a rule | - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make |
| that specifies a receiver-only side restriction. | it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. |
| |
|
| - Fix a bug with the modifying of unwritable directories. | - 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. |
| |
|
| - Fix --fake-super's interaction with --link-dest same-file comparisons. | - 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. |
| |
|
| - Fix the updating of the curr_dir buffer to avoid a duplicate slash. | - 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. |
| |
|
| - Fix the directory permissions on an implied dot-dir when using --relative | - When creating a temp-file, rsync is now a bit smarter about it dot-char |
| (e.g. /outside/path/././send/path). | choices, which can fix a problem on OS X with names that start with "..". |
| |
|
| - Fixed some too-long sleeping instances when using --bwlimit. | - 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). |
| |
|
| - Fixed when symlink ownership difference-checking gets compiled into | - The reads that map_ptr() now does are aligned on 1K boundaries. This |
| unchanged_attrs(). | helps some filesystems and/or files that don't like unaligned reads. |
| |
|
| - Improved the socket-error reporting when multiple protocols fail. | - Fix an issue in the msleep() function if time jumps backwards. |
| |
|
| - Fixed a case where a socket error could reference just-freed memory. | - Fix daemon-server module-name splitting bug where an arg would get split |
| | even if --protect-args was used. |
| |
|
| - Failing to use a password file that was specified on the command-line is | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| now a fatal error. | |
| |
|
| - Fix the non-root updating of directories that don't have the read and/or | - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful |
| execute permission. | for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. |
| |
|
| - Make daemon-excluded file errors more error-like. | - 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. |
| |
|
| - Fix a compilation issue on older C compilers (due to a misplaced var | - The --msgs2stderr option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the |
| declaration). | debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket |
| | protocol. |
| |
|
| - Make configure avoid finding socketpair on cygwin. | - 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). |
| |
|
| - Avoid trying to reference SO_BROADCAST if the OS doesn't support it. | - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. |
| |
|
| - Fix some issues with the post-processing of the man pages. | - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file |
| | ownership during the copy. |
| |
|
| - Fixed the user home-dir handling in the support/lsh script. | - 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). |
| |
|
| - Some minor manpage improvements. | - 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. |
