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. |
5d54f339 | 28 | |
5b2f48da WD |
29 | - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks |
30 | that are being copied, even if they point nowhere. | |
31 | ||
ae09fb1f WD |
32 | - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the |
33 | referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the | |
34 | user and group of a symlink. | |
fbe2aba2 | 35 | |
ec626b3f WD |
36 | - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time |
37 | rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete. | |
38 | ||
39 | - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to | |
40 | backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative. | |
41 | ||

42 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
43 | ||
8f1b4f36 WD |
44 | - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can |
45 | use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. | |
46 | ||
7a1b73b9 | 47 | - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except |
c3131af9 | 48 | that it includes copies of identical files. |
7a1b73b9 | 49 | |
22f5bd5e WD |
50 | - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or |
51 | --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the | |
c3131af9 | 52 | patches dir and enhanced.) |
22f5bd5e | 53 | |
c3131af9 | 54 | - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.) |
7a1b73b9 | 55 | |
18ea5dc0 | 56 | - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options |
22f5bd5e WD |
57 | so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to |
58 | start a daemon that had improper default option values that could | |
59 | cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. | |
18ea5dc0 | 60 | |
8f1b4f36 WD |
61 | - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon |
62 | to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value | |
63 | that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. | |
64 | ||
c3131af9 WD |
65 | - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from |
66 | the patches dir.) | |
67 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
68 | - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received |
69 | file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the | |
70 | partial file. | |
71 | ||
cc17fbfe WD |
72 | - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some |
73 | files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at | |
74 | once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses | |
75 | --link-dest. | |

77 | BUILD CHANGES: |
78 | ||
87ba7282 | 79 | - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). |
