+NEWS for rsync 3.0.6 (8 May 2009)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.3:
+Changes since 3.0.5:
BUG FIXES:
- - Changed the hard-link code to never try to allocate 0 bytes of memory.
- This fixes a failure on some Operating Systems, such as AIX.
+ - Fixed a --read-batch hang when rsync is reading a batch file that was
+ created from an incremental-recursion transfer.
- - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
- the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+ - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
+ multiple connections.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that
+ have consecutive slashes in the value.
- - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
- in requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
- user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
- server.
+ - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
+
+ - The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which
+ avoids a transfer error in the receiver.
+
+ - Added the --delete-missing option to delete user-specified files on the
+ receiver that are missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-
+ specified files generates an error).
+
+ - Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was
+ an I/O during the sending of the file list.
+
+ - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
+ start of the short options.
+
+ - Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code
+ 23 instead of the proper exit code 24.
+
+ - Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy.
+
+ - Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the
+ receiving side when a mount-point directory did not match a directory in
+ the transfer.
+
+ - Fixed the dropping of an ACL mask when no named ACL values were present.
+
+ - Fixed an ACL/xattr corruption issue where the --backup option could cause
+ rsync to associate the wrong ACL/xattr information with received files.
+
+ - Fixed the use of --xattrs with --only-write-batch.
+
+ - Fixed the use of --dry-run with --read-batch.
+
+ - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target.
+
+ - Fixed configure's --disable-debug option.
+
+ - Fixed a run-time issue for systems that can't find iconv_open() by adding
+ the --disable-iconv-open configure option.
+
+ - Complain and die if the user tries to combine --remove-source-files (or
+ the deprecated --remove-sent-files) with --read-batch.
+
+ - Fixed an failure transferring special files from Solaris to Linux.
