1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED) |
2 | Protocol: 30 (unchanged) | |
3 | Changes since 3.0.0: | |

5 | BUG FIXES: |
6 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
7 | - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was |
8 | run without specifying a --config=FILE option. | |
9 | ||
10 | - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. | |
11 | ||
12 | - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to | |
13 | not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. | |
14 | ||
15 | - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. | |
16 | ||
17 | - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. | |
18 | ||
19 | - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom | |
20 | CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building | |
21 | of rounding.h fails. | |
22 | ||
d7b6774d | 23 | - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. |
1ba6468f WD |
24 | |
25 | - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver | |
d7b6774d | 26 | that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on |
1ba6468f WD |
27 | the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse |
28 | protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a | |
29 | file) was already working. | |
30 | ||
31 | - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that | |
32 | can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if | |
33 | --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard- | |
34 | linked set of files, but not all of them). | |
35 | ||
36 | - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time | |
37 | that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. | |
38 | ||

39 | - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of excluding |
40 | a wider range of path entries. It also sends the user an error about | |
41 | "missing" files instead of silently ignoring them. | |
42 | ||
43 | - Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory | |
44 | handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy. | |
45 | ||
46 | - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling. | |
47 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
48 | - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. |
49 | ||
50 | - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. | |
51 | ||
52 | - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the | |
53 | itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, | |
54 | and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish | |
55 | between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a | |
56 | revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device | |
57 | numbers). | |
58 | ||
59 | - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no | |
60 | longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- | |
61 | date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, | |
62 | ownership, xattrs, etc.). | |
63 | ||
64 | - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) | |
65 | because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it | |
66 | automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. | |
67 | ||
68 | - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support | |
69 | wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). | |
70 | ||
71 | - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that | |
72 | rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). | |

74 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
75 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
76 | - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file |
77 | listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the | |
78 | --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. | |
79 | ||
80 | - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. | |
81 | ||
82 | - Improved the documentation of the --append option. | |

84 | - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon |
85 | parameters. | |

87 | INTERNAL: |
88 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
89 | - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I |
90 | sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). | |
91 | ||
92 | - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper | |
93 | normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should | |
94 | not have caused problems, though.) | |
f153c9c9 | 95 | |
fc051378 WD |
96 | - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the |
97 | "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory | |
98 | churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned | |
99 | args. | |

101 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
102 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
103 | - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about |
104 | unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of | |
105 | the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. | |
106 | ||
107 | - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the | |
108 | included popt should be used or not. | |
109 | ||
fc051378 WD |
110 | - The RPM spec file was updated to have (1) comments for how to use the |
111 | rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file. | |
112 | ||
1ba6468f WD |
113 | - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory |
114 | structure. |
