1 | NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release |
2 | Changes since version 2.5.5: | |
6c92af20 | 3 | |
759ac870 DD |
4 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
5 | ||
bc2b4963 | 6 | * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
759ac870 | 7 | |
bc2b4963 | 8 | * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael |
759ac870 DD |
9 | Zimmerman) |
10 | ||
d2d9fe18 WD |
11 | * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the |
12 | specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) | |
13 | server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such | |
bc2b4963 | 14 | as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) |
d2d9fe18 | 15 | |
93eff16a WD |
16 | * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the |
17 | destination field. | |
18 | ||
f8a94f0d | 19 | * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", |
bc2b4963 | 20 | rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) |
f8a94f0d | 21 | |
59c95e42 DD |
22 | * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that |
23 | unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. | |
24 | (J.W. Schultz) | |
25 | ||
1b85e3f1 | 26 | * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an |
bc2b4963 | 27 | rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) |
1b85e3f1 | 28 | |
ee7118a8 DD |
29 | * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon |
30 | Middleton) | |
31 | ||
bc2b4963 DD |
32 | * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" |
33 | and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) | |
34 | ||
7f653755 DD |
35 | * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line |
36 | terminations. (J.W. Schultz) | |
536b8468 | 37 | |
f0b4fdaf DD |

41 | BUG FIXES: |
42 | ||
43 | * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John | |
44 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) | |
1433e6da | 45 | |
d2d9fe18 WD |
46 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
47 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents | |
48 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) | |
49 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
50 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |
51 | ||
991f90f2 MP |
52 | * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) |
53 | ||
93eff16a WD |
54 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
55 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file | |
56 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) | |
57 | ||
ac6ce983 WD |
58 | * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple |
59 | dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) | |
60 | ||
ee7118a8 DD |
61 | * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child |
62 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing | |
63 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) | |
64 | ||
1f1fbe18 DD |
65 | * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely |
66 | broken. (Dave Dykstra) | |
67 | ||
b765ec32 | 68 | * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. |
aa2c47d8 | 69 | (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) |
b765ec32 | 70 | |

73 | ||
9f639210 DD |
74 | * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) |
