=======================================
New Features
------------------
- The console output for many commands has been improved to display
command progress.
- The cp, mv, and rsync commands now support a -P option that preserves
POSIX file attributes from the source. Currently, mode, gid, uid,
atime, and mtime attributes are supported for uploads, downloads,
and copies.
- gsutil can now optionally report anonymous usage statistics that help
gsutil developers improve the tool. For non-gcloud distributions,
prompts have been added to the config and update commands. Prompts can
be disabled via the disable_analytics_prompt value in the .boto
configuration file.
- Added the iam commmand, which can be used to set IAM policies on
Google Cloud Storage buckets and objects. This feature is currently in
alpha and requires a safelist application to use it - see
"gsutil help iam" for details.
- The hash command now supports retrieving hashes for cloud objects.
Bug Fixes
------------------
- Fixed a bug where rsync -e -r could fail for subdirectories with
broken symlinks.
- Fixed an access error when interacting with S3 user-specific
directories.
Other Changes
------------------
- Updated boto library dependency to 2.42.0.
