89855e78 | 1 | NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7 |
195bd906 | 2 | Protocol: 27 (changed) |
89855e78 WD |
3 | Changes since version 2.5.6: |
4 | ||
5 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
6 | ||
58665d23 | 7 | * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0. |
89855e78 WD |
8 | Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the |
9 | --*-from options. (Wayne Davison) | |
10 | ||
58665d23 WD |
11 | * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison |
12 | 27. (J.W. Schultz) | |
195bd906 | 13 | |
58665d23 WD |
14 | * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). |
15 | The per-file checksum size is determined according | |
16 | to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which | |
17 | reduces the probability of rsync algorithm | |
18 | corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4 | |
19 | checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda) | |
195bd906 | 20 | |
727fa368 WD |
21 | * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary |
22 | unless the verbose option was specified at least twice. | |

24 | BUG FIXES: |

58665d23 WD |
26 | * for protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the |
27 | block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. | |
28 | Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. | |
29 | (Craig Barratt) | |
195bd906 | 30 | |
58665d23 WD |
31 | * for protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in |
32 | mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit | |
33 | counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for | |
34 | file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) | |
195bd906 | 35 | |
58665d23 | 36 | * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versios and |
89855e78 WD |
37 | multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir. |
38 | (Wayne Davison) | |
39 | ||
58665d23 | 40 | * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. |
89855e78 | 41 | |
fab1f889 S |
42 | * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p -o and -g. |
43 | ||
8113a033 WD |
44 | * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more |
45 | consistent manner. | |

48 | INTERNAL: |
49 | ||
58665d23 | 50 | * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped |
89855e78 WD |
51 | supporting. (J.W. Schultz) |
52 | ||
58665d23 | 53 | * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) |

8395d246 | 56 | NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release |
3742bf3a | 57 | Protocol: 26 (unchanged) |
8395d246 | 58 | Changes since version 2.5.5: |
6c92af20 | 59 | |
759ac870 DD |
60 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
61 | ||
bc2b4963 | 62 | * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
759ac870 | 63 | |
bc2b4963 | 64 | * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael |
759ac870 DD |
65 | Zimmerman) |
66 | ||
d2d9fe18 WD |
67 | * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the |
68 | specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) | |
69 | server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such | |
bc2b4963 | 70 | as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) |
d2d9fe18 | 71 | |
93eff16a WD |
72 | * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the |
73 | destination field. | |
74 | ||
f8a94f0d | 75 | * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", |
bc2b4963 | 76 | rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) |
f8a94f0d | 77 | |
59c95e42 DD |
78 | * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that |
79 | unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. | |
80 | (J.W. Schultz) | |
81 | ||
1b85e3f1 | 82 | * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an |
bc2b4963 | 83 | rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) |
1b85e3f1 | 84 | |
ee7118a8 DD |
85 | * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon |
86 | Middleton) | |
87 | ||
bc2b4963 DD |
88 | * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" |
89 | and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) | |
90 | ||
7f653755 DD |
91 | * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line |
92 | terminations. (J.W. Schultz) | |
536b8468 | 93 | |
f0b4fdaf DD |
94 | * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. |
95 | (Dave Dykstra) | |
96 | ||
6c92af20 | 97 | BUG FIXES: |
89855e78 | 98 | |
6c92af20 MP |
99 | * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John |
100 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) | |
1433e6da | 101 | |
d2d9fe18 WD |
102 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
103 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents | |
104 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) | |
105 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
106 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |
107 | ||
991f90f2 MP |
108 | * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) |
109 | ||
93eff16a WD |
110 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
111 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file | |
112 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) | |
113 | ||
ac6ce983 WD |
114 | * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple |
115 | dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) | |
116 | ||
ee7118a8 DD |
117 | * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child |
118 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing | |
119 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) | |
120 | ||
1f1fbe18 DD |
121 | * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely |
122 | broken. (Dave Dykstra) | |
123 | ||
b765ec32 | 124 | * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. |
aa2c47d8 | 125 | (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) |
b765ec32 | 126 | |
1b3cadaa DD |
127 | * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories |
128 | when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) | |
129 | ||
9f639210 DD |
130 | * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) |
131 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
132 | INTERNAL: |
133 | ||
89855e78 | 134 | * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin |
bdae761e | 135 | Pool, Nelson Beebe) |
dd0628f8 | 136 | |
ac6ce983 WD |
137 | * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) |
138 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
139 | * More test cases. (Martin Pool) |
140 | ||
521e6fdc WD |
141 | * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) |
142 | ||
b1a2f37a WD |
143 | * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. |
144 | (Jos Backus) | |
1985aa96 PG |
145 | |
146 | * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this | |
755bcd37 | 147 | means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green) |
