Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
Changes since 3.0.0:
+ NOTABLE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR:
+
+ - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
+ itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
+ and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
+ between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
+ revised version with a new value (e.g. a changed symlink referent, a
+ new device number, etc.).
+
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
file) was already working.
- Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
- can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
- --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
- linked set of files, but not all of them).
+ can skip a file in a set of hard-linked files (i.e. --ignore-existing,
+ --append, etc.), without skipping all the files in the set.
- - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
- that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.

+ modify time set. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
- - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of excluding
- a wider range of path entries. It also sends the user an error about
- "missing" files instead of silently ignoring them.
+ - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the
+ exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as
+ if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the
+ user's args).
- Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory
handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy.
- Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
- - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
- itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
- and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
- between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
- revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
- numbers).
-
- The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
ownership, xattrs, etc.).
- Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
- because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
- automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.

+
+ - Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could
+ make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path.
- A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
- The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
- included popt should be used or not.
+ included popt code should be used or not.
- The RPM spec file was updated to have (1) comments for how to use the
rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file.
