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-html or make 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.
