1 | rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :) |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | NEW FEATURES | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. | |

13 | * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch |

19 | ENHANCEMENTS |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
| 22 | included or excluded and why. | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
| 25 | details. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
| 30 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
| 31 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
| 32 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
| 35 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
| 36 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
| 37 | installed on the platform. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
| 40 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
| 45 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
| 48 | local machine. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 51 | ||
| 7d682ffe MP |
52 | * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang. |
| 53 | ||
| 25ea348b MP |
54 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
| 59 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
| 60 | ||
| b2f02464 MP |
61 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might |
| 62 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an | |
| 63 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) | |
| 64 | ||
| 3405fe45 MP |
65 | PLATFORMS: |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
| 0b21c485 MP |
68 | |
| 69 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
| 70 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | TESTING: | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a | |
| 75 | test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba | |
| 76 | build farm. | |
