+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
- allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
-
- - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
- of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
-
- - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This
- particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
- be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
- the --remove-source-files was also specified.
-
- - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
- destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
- a non-root copy can't affect.
-
- - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
- incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
-
- - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead
- of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides
- of the transfer).
-
- - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
- this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail
- silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled
- due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified).
-
- - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename,
- the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name
- with the wrong charset conversion.
-
- - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
- the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
-
- - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
-
- - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number
- (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation).
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
- is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
- user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
- server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
-
- - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
- or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
-
- - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync"
- instead of "$RSYNC".
-
- - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and
- to do even more consistency checks on the files.
