1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED) |
| 2 | Protocol: 28 (unchanged) | |
| 3 | Changes since 2.6.2: | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 6 | ||
| 831f05df WD |
7 | - Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and |
| 8 | multiple source directories were specified. | |
| 03a9ca0a WD |
9 | |
| 10 | - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories | |
| 11 | over and over again (generating warnings along the way). | |
| 12 | ||
| cbd85b47 WD |
13 | - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and |
| 14 | the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be | |
| 15 | terminated by a newline for their content to be read in. | |
| 03a9ca0a WD |
16 | |
| 17 | - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will | |
| 18 | no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was | |
| 0058c58e WD |
19 | specified. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to |
| 20 | work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders | |
| 21 | don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.) | |
| 03a9ca0a WD |
22 | |
| 23 | - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy | |
| 24 | (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy). | |
| 25 | ||
| cbd85b47 | 26 | - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config |
| bd1574b2 WD |
27 | items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module |
| 28 | allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion. | |
| cbd85b47 | 29 | |
| b03bded7 WD |
30 | - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves |
| 31 | the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the | |
| 34 | batch-processing options. | |
| 35 | ||
| 03a9ca0a WD |
36 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 37 | ||
| 4e1f3857 WD |
38 | - The new option --keep-dirlinks (-K) allows you to symlink a directory |
| 39 | onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it | |
| 40 | as matching a normal directory from the sender. | |
| 41 | ||
| cbd85b47 WD |
42 | - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file. |
| 43 | ||
| 03a9ca0a | 44 | - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6) |
| 831f05df | 45 | and documented all these options in the man page. |
| 03a9ca0a | 46 | |
| ef0bc0ab WD |
47 | - Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less |
| 48 | bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of | |
| 49 | values. | |
| 50 | ||
| 5b36173d WD |
51 | - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and |
| 52 | SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address. | |
| 53 | ||
| bd1574b2 WD |
54 | - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users. |
| 55 | ||
| 03a9ca0a WD |
56 | INTERNAL: |
| 57 | ||
| 0058c58e WD |
58 | - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory |
| 59 | and made the code easier to maintain. | |
| 03a9ca0a WD |
60 | |
| 61 | - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling | |
| 62 | rprintf() with strerror() as an arg. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | BUILD CHANGES: | |
| 65 | ||
| bd1574b2 WD |
66 | - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files, |
| 67 | including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h. | |
| 03a9ca0a | 68 | |
| bd1574b2 WD |
69 | - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the |
| 70 | proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to be updated). | |
| 03a9ca0a WD |
71 | |
| 72 | DEVELOPER RELATED: | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit. | |
