3742bf3a | 2 | Protocol: 26 (unchanged) |
8395d246 | 3 | Changes since version 2.5.5: |
6c92af20 | 4 | |
759ac870 DD |
5 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
6 | ||
bc2b4963 | 7 | * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
759ac870 | 8 | |
bc2b4963 | 9 | * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael |
759ac870 DD |
10 | Zimmerman) |
11 | ||
d2d9fe18 WD |
12 | * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the |
13 | specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) | |
14 | server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such | |
bc2b4963 | 15 | as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) |
d2d9fe18 | 16 | |
93eff16a WD |
17 | * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the |
18 | destination field. | |
19 | ||
f8a94f0d | 20 | * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", |
bc2b4963 | 21 | rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) |
f8a94f0d | 22 | |
59c95e42 DD |
23 | * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that |
24 | unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. | |
25 | (J.W. Schultz) | |
26 | ||
1b85e3f1 | 27 | * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an |
bc2b4963 | 28 | rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) |
1b85e3f1 | 29 | |
ee7118a8 DD |
30 | * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon |
31 | Middleton) | |
32 | ||
bc2b4963 DD |
33 | * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" |
34 | and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) | |
35 | ||
7f653755 DD |
36 | * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line |
37 | terminations. (J.W. Schultz) | |
536b8468 | 38 | |

42 | BUG FIXES: |
43 | ||
44 | * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John | |
45 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) | |
1433e6da | 46 | |
d2d9fe18 WD |
47 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
48 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents | |
49 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) | |
50 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
51 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |
52 | ||

54 | ||
93eff16a WD |
55 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
56 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file | |
57 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) | |
58 | ||
ac6ce983 WD |
59 | * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple |
60 | dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) | |
61 | ||
ee7118a8 DD |
62 | * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child |
63 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing | |
64 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) | |
65 | ||
1f1fbe18 DD |
66 | * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely |
67 | broken. (Dave Dykstra) | |
68 | ||
b765ec32 | 69 | * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. |
aa2c47d8 | 70 | (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) |

74 | ||
9f639210 DD |
