a60fdd63 | 1 | NEWS for rsync version 2.6.0 |
195bd906 | 2 | Protocol: 27 (changed) |
58cadc86 | 3 | Changes since version 2.5.7: |
89855e78 WD |
4 | |
5 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
6 | ||
e636af6b WD |
7 | * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to |
8 | change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh". | |
9 | ||
58665d23 | 10 | * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0. |
89855e78 | 11 | Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the |
d00daf1f | 12 | files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison) |
89855e78 | 13 | |
9e83fa99 | 14 | * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version |
58665d23 | 15 | 27. (J.W. Schultz) |
195bd906 | 16 | |
9e83fa99 WD |
17 | * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The |
18 | per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm | |
19 | provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync | |
20 | algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4 | |
58665d23 | 21 | checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda) |
195bd906 | 22 | |
727fa368 WD |
23 | * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary |
24 | unless the verbose option was specified at least twice. | |
25 | ||
d00daf1f WD |
26 | * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the |
27 | sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the | |
28 | file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified. | |
29 | ||
9e83fa99 WD |
30 | * Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline. |
31 | ||
89855e78 WD |
32 | BUG FIXES: |
33 | ||
f2fe4903 WD |
34 | * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards. |
35 | This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the | |
36 | matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not | |
37 | cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like | |
38 | what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison) | |
39 | ||
592f4696 WD |
40 | - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes. |
41 | For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep. | |
42 | ||
f2fe4903 WD |
43 | - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo). |
44 | ||
45 | - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of | |
46 | the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path, | |
47 | just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. | |
48 | ||
49 | - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched | |
50 | against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if | |
51 | there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar" | |
52 | would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as | |
860bdd45 | 53 | "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). |
f2fe4903 | 54 | |
52e628a8 WD |
55 | * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now |
56 | properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the | |
d00daf1f | 57 | user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison) |
52e628a8 | 58 | |
da2bcdd1 | 59 | * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the |
58665d23 WD |
60 | block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. |
61 | Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. | |
62 | (Craig Barratt) | |
256a9e37 | 63 | |
da2bcdd1 | 64 | * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in |
58665d23 WD |
65 | mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit |
66 | counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for | |
67 | file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) | |
195bd906 | 68 | |
da2bcdd1 | 69 | * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and |
89855e78 WD |
70 | multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir. |
71 | (Wayne Davison) | |
72 | ||
58665d23 | 73 | * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. |
89855e78 | 74 | |
da2bcdd1 | 75 | * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g. |
fab1f889 | 76 | |
8113a033 WD |
77 | * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more |
78 | consistent manner. | |
79 | ||
9b746433 | 80 | * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) |
fab1f889 | 81 | |
256a9e37 WD |
82 | * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log |
83 | when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow" | |
84 | and "hosts deny" parameters in config file. | |
85 | ||
86 | * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1. | |
87 | ||
90045413 WD |
88 | * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file |
89 | that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and | |
90 | Wayne Davison) | |
91 | ||
d594399c WD |
92 | * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files |
93 | to not get backed up. | |
94 | ||
860bdd45 WD |
95 | * When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode |
96 | 0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the | |
97 | backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree). | |
98 | ||
2c873122 WD |
99 | * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner. |
100 | ||
aa6dc37c WD |
101 | * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly |
102 | what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison) | |
2c873122 WD |
103 | |
104 | * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when | |
105 | using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison) | |
4a7ee79d | 106 | |
d89a3a31 S |
107 | * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing |
108 | special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or | |
109 | --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the | |
110 | same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a | |
111 | regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz) | |
112 | ||
6a7cc46c S |
113 | * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and |
114 | readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated | |
115 | files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz) | |
116 | ||
65653a65 WD |
117 | * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings |
118 | if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt. | |
119 | ||
89855e78 WD |
120 | INTERNAL: |
121 | ||
58665d23 | 122 | * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped |
89855e78 WD |
123 | supporting. (J.W. Schultz) |
124 | ||
58665d23 | 125 | * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) |
89855e78 | 126 | |
52e628a8 WD |
127 | * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new |
128 | defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) | |
129 | ||
aa6dc37c WD |
130 | * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a |
131 | lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides. | |
132 | Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value | |
133 | we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes). | |
134 | (Wayne Davison) | |

139 | Changes since version 2.5.6: | |
140 | ||
141 | SECURITY: | |
142 | ||
143 | * Fix buffer handling bugs. (Andrew Tridgell, Martin Pool, Paul | |
144 | Russell, Andrea Barisani) | |

759ac870 DD |
151 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
152 | ||
bc2b4963 | 153 | * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
759ac870 | 154 | |
bc2b4963 | 155 | * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael |
759ac870 DD |
156 | Zimmerman) |
157 | ||
d2d9fe18 WD |
158 | * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the |
159 | specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) | |
160 | server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such | |
bc2b4963 | 161 | as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) |
d2d9fe18 | 162 | |
93eff16a WD |
163 | * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the |
164 | destination field. | |
165 | ||
f8a94f0d | 166 | * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", |
bc2b4963 | 167 | rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) |
f8a94f0d | 168 | |
59c95e42 DD |
169 | * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that |
170 | unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. | |
171 | (J.W. Schultz) | |
172 | ||
1b85e3f1 | 173 | * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an |
bc2b4963 | 174 | rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) |
1b85e3f1 | 175 | |
ee7118a8 DD |
176 | * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon |
177 | Middleton) | |
178 | ||
bc2b4963 DD |
179 | * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" |
180 | and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) | |
181 | ||
7f653755 DD |
182 | * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line |
183 | terminations. (J.W. Schultz) | |
536b8468 | 184 | |
f0b4fdaf DD |
185 | * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. |
186 | (Dave Dykstra) | |
187 | ||
6c92af20 | 188 | BUG FIXES: |
89855e78 | 189 | |
6c92af20 MP |
190 | * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John |
191 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) | |
1433e6da | 192 | |
d2d9fe18 WD |
193 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
194 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents | |
195 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) | |
196 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
197 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |
198 | ||
991f90f2 MP |
199 | * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) |
200 | ||
93eff16a WD |
201 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
202 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file | |
203 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) | |
204 | ||
ac6ce983 WD |
205 | * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple |
206 | dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) | |
207 | ||
ee7118a8 DD |
208 | * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child |
209 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing | |
210 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) | |
211 | ||
1f1fbe18 DD |
212 | * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely |
213 | broken. (Dave Dykstra) | |
214 | ||
b765ec32 | 215 | * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. |
aa2c47d8 | 216 | (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) |
b765ec32 | 217 | |
1b3cadaa DD |
218 | * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories |
219 | when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) | |
220 | ||
9f639210 DD |
221 | * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) |
222 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
223 | INTERNAL: |
224 | ||
89855e78 | 225 | * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin |
bdae761e | 226 | Pool, Nelson Beebe) |
dd0628f8 | 227 | |
ac6ce983 WD |
228 | * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) |
229 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
230 | * More test cases. (Martin Pool) |
231 | ||
521e6fdc WD |
232 | * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) |
233 | ||
b1a2f37a WD |
234 | * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. |
235 | (Jos Backus) | |
1985aa96 PG |
236 | |
237 | * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this | |
755bcd37 | 238 | means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green) |
