Rsync version 3.0.4pre1 is now available for release testing. This is a bug-fix release with the only enhancement being the adding of a way to interact with an overly-restrictive server that refuses rsync's behind-the-scenes use of the -e option. Please test this new release and send email to the rsync mailing list with any questions, comments, or bug reports.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.0.4pre1 released
Question for you. I just had to revise a bunch of scripts that use rsync on a system I maintain the uses 2.6.8 Discovered that the -n option had been changed to not work unless -v is added. This of course adds text to the output so that instead of a nice clean list of files that would be slated for transfer, one gets gobbledy gook + files + more gobbledygook. Has this been repaired in later versions. Our scripts parse the output of -n and rename files that are updated on the remote host so there is a continuous history of all updated files.
