325c2432 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (3 Apr 2008) |
3cbe640d WD |
2 | Protocol: 30 (unchanged) |
3 | Changes since 3.0.0: | |
46e858a6 | 4 | |
469ff84e WD |
5 | NOTABLE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR: |
6 | ||
7 | - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the | |
8 | itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, | |
9 | and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish | |
10 | between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a | |
11 | revised version with a new value (e.g. a changed symlink referent, a | |
12 | new device number, etc.). | |

14 | BUG FIXES: |
15 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
16 | - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was |
17 | run without specifying a --config=FILE option. | |
18 | ||
19 | - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. | |
20 | ||
21 | - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to | |
22 | not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. | |
23 | ||
24 | - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. | |
25 | ||
26 | - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. | |
27 | ||
a165be75 WD |
28 | - Fixed a bug with --iconv's handling of files that cannot be converted: |
29 | a failed name can no longer cause a transfer failure. | |
30 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
31 | - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom |
32 | CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building | |
33 | of rounding.h fails. | |
34 | ||
d7b6774d | 35 | - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. |
1ba6468f WD |
36 | |
37 | - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver | |
d7b6774d | 38 | that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on |
1ba6468f WD |
39 | the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse |
40 | protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a | |
41 | file) was already working. | |
42 | ||
43 | - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that | |
469ff84e WD |
44 | can skip a file in a set of hard-linked files (i.e. --ignore-existing, |
45 | --append, etc.), without skipping all the files in the set. | |
1ba6468f | 46 | |
469ff84e WD |
47 | - Avoid setting the modify time on a directory that already has the right |
48 | modify time set. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. | |
1ba6468f | 49 | |
469ff84e WD |
50 | - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the |
51 | exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as | |
52 | if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the | |
1df02d13 WD |
53 | user's args), and avoids sending the user the filter-action messages |
54 | for these non-user-initiated rules. | |

55 | |
56 | - Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory | |
57 | handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy. | |
58 | ||
59 | - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling. | |
60 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
61 | - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. |
62 | ||
63 | - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. | |
64 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
65 | - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no |
66 | longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- | |
67 | date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, | |
68 | ownership, xattrs, etc.). | |
69 | ||
70 | - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) | |
469ff84e WD |
71 | because the options conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, |
72 | it automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. | |
73 | ||
74 | - Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could | |
75 | make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path. | |
1ba6468f WD |
76 | |
77 | - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support | |
78 | wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). | |
79 | ||
a165be75 WD |
80 | - Fixed the inclusion of per-dir merge files from implied dirs. |
81 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
82 | - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that |
83 | rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). | |

85 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
86 | ||
73cb6738 WD |
87 | - Added the --old-dirs (--old-d) option to make it easier for a user to |
88 | ask for file-listings with older rsync versions (this is easier than | |
89 | having to type "-r --exclude='/*/*'" manually). | |
90 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
91 | - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file |
92 | listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the | |
93 | --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. | |
94 | ||
95 | - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. | |
96 | ||
97 | - Improved the documentation of the --append option. | |
0f8984ed | 98 | |
fc051378 WD |
99 | - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon |
100 | parameters. | |
101 | ||

102 | INTERNAL: |
103 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
104 | - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I |
105 | sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). | |
106 | ||
107 | - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper | |
108 | normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should | |
109 | not have caused problems, though.) | |
f153c9c9 | 110 | |
fc051378 WD |
111 | - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the |
112 | "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory | |
113 | churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned | |
114 | args. | |
115 | ||

116 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
117 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
118 | - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about |
119 | unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of | |
120 | the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. | |
121 | ||
122 | - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the | |
469ff84e | 123 | included popt code should be used or not. |
1ba6468f | 124 | |
ba8672df WD |
125 | - Fixed two testsuite glitches: avoid a failure if someone's "cd" command |
126 | outputs the current directory when cd-ing to a relative path, and made | |
127 | the itemized test query how rsync was built to determine if it should | |
128 | expect hard-linked symlinks or not. | |
129 | ||
130 | - Updated the testsuite to verify that various bug fixes remain fixed. | |
131 | ||
132 | - The RPM spec file was updated to have: (1) comments for how to use the | |
fc051378 WD |
133 | rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file. |
134 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
135 | - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory |
136 | structure. |
