Download rsync 3.0.0

After ten prereleases, rsync 3.0.0 has finally appeared on the Samba website. This program provides a quick way to sync files in whole or in part between different locations. It is therefore widely used in all kinds of synchronization programs, but also, for example, for the backup of file servers. Those who want to know more about this can use the available documentation read through, which also contains a number of tutorials. The announcement looks like this:

Rsync 3.0.0 released

Yes, it’s finally that time — rsync 3.0.0 has been released. This is a feature release that also includes quite a few bug fixes.

I’d like thank everyone who participated in the development and testing of rsync. I hope you enjoy this latest version!

The 3.0.0 version number is such a large bump up from 2.6.9 due to the addition of an incremental recursion scan (which helps a lot with large transfers) and the official arrival of several other new features, including ACL support, extended attribute support, filename character-set conversion, etc.
