New features:
- The -e/--hardlinks option has been implemented: tdiff can now compare hard link sets between both directories and report which hard links are only in one of the directories.
User-visible changes:
-
Some options have been renamed for consistency with the stat(2) structure member names, and others to avoid non-standard options.
Old option (before 0.8) New option (0.8 and later) Notes -r/-R -y/-Y atime check -o/-O/--owner/--no-owner -u/-U/--uid/--no-uid file user id --group/--no-group --gid/--no-gid file group id --nlinks --nlink hard link count -a/--all -6/--preset default default option state -A/--no-all -0/--preset none clear all comparison toggles -| -o file mode OR bit mask -& -a file mode AND bit mask -
A lot of presets have been added, replacing the -a/--all and -A/--no-all options. They can be used numerically (-3) or by name (-p owner/--preset owner)
-
tdiff --version now reports the stat time granularity (seconds or microseconds).
-
A message is printed when a comparison is skipped or sub-trees are pruned because they cannot be read.
-
The README and NEWS files are now installed in
$prefix/share/doc/tdiff. -
HTML and PDF versions of the manual page can optionally be installed by running
make install-htmlormake install-pdf.
Bugs fixed:
- Fix compilation error on systems supporting st_xtimespec stat structure members.
- tdiff's exit status was not always consistent with the documented behavior, this is now fixed.
- Fix crash with the -x/--exec or -w/--exec-always command lines do not end with a semicolon.
Other changes:
- Manual page improvements and updates.
- Test suite (
make check) improvements. - Zsh completion function improvements.
- Lots of changes under the hood.
