1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (UNRELEASED) |
| 2 | Protocol: 28 (unchanged) | |
| 3 | Changes since 2.6.3: | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3 | |
| 8 | was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude | |
| 9 | file). | |
| 10 | ||
| 1ed55e3e WD |
11 | - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination |
| 12 | that already exists in the --backup-dir. | |
| 13 | ||
| ac1541f4 WD |
14 | - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed |
| 15 | setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with | |
| 4a888ae6 WD |
16 | mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is | |
| 19 | the sender, and the file-list is large. | |
| ac1541f4 WD |
20 | |
| 21 | - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating | |
| 22 | FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when | |
| 23 | necessary. | |
| 24 | ||
| 740bab94 WD |
25 | - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. |
| 26 | ||
| 22f5bd5e | 27 | - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed. |

29 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 30 | ||
| 8f1b4f36 WD |
31 | - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can |
| 32 | use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. | |
| 33 | ||
| 7a1b73b9 WD |
34 | - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except |
| 35 | that it copies identical files. | |
| 36 | ||
| 22f5bd5e WD |
37 | - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or |
| 38 | --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the | |
| 39 | patches dir) | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir). | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from | |
| 44 | the patches dir) | |
| 7a1b73b9 | 45 | |
| 18ea5dc0 | 46 | - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options |
| 22f5bd5e WD |
47 | so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to |
| 48 | start a daemon that had improper default option values that could | |
| 49 | cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. | |
| 18ea5dc0 | 50 | |
| 8f1b4f36 WD |
51 | - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon |
| 52 | to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value | |
| 53 | that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. | |
| 54 | ||
| ac1541f4 WD |
55 | - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received |
| 56 | file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the | |
| 57 | partial file. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | BUILD CHANGES: | |
| 60 | ||
| 87ba7282 | 61 | - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). |
