Adds real algorithm selection (xxh64 default, plus md5 via OpenSSL EVP) and a
64-bit seed for the per-file whole-file digest used by the --incremental/
--checksum handshake and basis-dir content verification. The seed also feeds
the delta path's per-block xxHash32 strong checksum (low 32 bits) so an
explicit seed deterministically changes those digests too. Sender and receiver
hash identically: the algorithm id and seed cross the config wire frame and the
STATUS_CHECK handshake now carries a length-prefixed, bounded digest instead of
a fixed 64-bit value. Unsupported algorithm names are rejected at parse time
(never a silent no-op). PROTOCOL_VERSION bumped 2.9.0 -> 2.10.0; defaults
(xxh64, seed 0) preserve prior byte-for-byte behavior.
- Fix memory leak in delta_deserialize() on BLOCK_MATCH error path
- Fix memory leak on malloc failure for literal data
- Add port range validation (1-65535) for -p/--port and --server-port
- Restore -V/--version flag with usage text
- Use MAX_DATA_PAYLOAD_SIZE consistently (remove local MAX_DATA_SIZE)
- Fix integer truncation in config_send/config_receive for delta_block_size
- Add log messages for malloc failures
- Extract config_set_defaults() helper to eliminate duplication
- Add 10 new CLI tests for argument parsing
Remove 7490-line vendored xxhash.h, use FetchContent to pull xxHash v0.8.3
at CMake configure time (SOURCE_SUBDIR cmake_unofficial). Links as static
library via the xxhash target.
- Fix rolling adler32: add missing -1 in s2 update formula (was producing
wrong checksums, causing zero block matches)
- Fix file_send_sendfile signature to match typedef (add unused
compression_level param)
- Extract receive_delta_file() from receive_incremental_check() to reduce
nesting depth
- Extract send_file_incremental() helper in client_send.c
- Add delta_max_file_size to Config, serialized over wire
- Add --delta-max CLI flag
- Add test_large_file_delta (200KB) and extra delta_should_attempt cases
- Remove unused pos_in_block variable from delta_compute
Implement rsync-style delta transfer using rolling checksums (Adler-32 +
xxHash32). When a file exists on both sides but has changed, only the
changed blocks are transmitted instead of the entire file.
- New status codes: STATUS_DELTA_SIGNATURE, STATUS_DELTA_DATA
- Protocol version bumped to 1.2.0
- Server generates block signature, client computes delta
- Auto-fallback to whole-file when delta >= 70% of file size
- Works with zstd compression on delta stream
- Configurable block size (default 8KB, --delta-block flag)
- 13 unit tests covering hashing, signature roundtrip, delta compute/apply,
file growth/shrink, and decision logic
