276877cf | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004) |
195bd906 | 2 | Protocol: 27 (changed) |
276877cf | 3 | Changes since 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. | |
faf11086 WD |
42 | [If your string has BOTH "*" and "**" wildcards, changing the |
43 | "*" wildcards to "**" will provide the old behavior in all | |
44 | versions.] | |
592f4696 | 45 | |
52fa4d78 WD |
46 | - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo |
47 | does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.] | |
f2fe4903 | 48 | |
52fa4d78 | 49 | - A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of |
f2fe4903 | 50 | the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path, |
52fa4d78 WD |
51 | just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*" |
52 | to get the old behavior in all versions.] | |
f2fe4903 WD |
53 | |
54 | - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched | |
55 | against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if | |
56 | there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar" | |
57 | would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as | |
52fa4d78 WD |
58 | "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the |
59 | old behavior in all versions.] | |
f2fe4903 | 60 | |
52e628a8 WD |
61 | * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now |
62 | properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the | |
d00daf1f | 63 | user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison) |
52e628a8 | 64 | |
da2bcdd1 | 65 | * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the |
58665d23 WD |
66 | block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. |
67 | Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. | |
68 | (Craig Barratt) | |
256a9e37 | 69 | |
da2bcdd1 | 70 | * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in |
58665d23 WD |
71 | mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit |
72 | counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for | |
73 | file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) | |
195bd906 | 74 | |
da2bcdd1 | 75 | * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and |
89855e78 WD |
76 | multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir. |
77 | (Wayne Davison) | |
78 | ||
58665d23 | 79 | * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. |
89855e78 | 80 | |
da2bcdd1 | 81 | * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g. |
fab1f889 | 82 | |
8113a033 WD |
83 | * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more |
84 | consistent manner. | |
85 | ||
9b746433 | 86 | * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) |
fab1f889 | 87 | |
256a9e37 WD |
88 | * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log |
89 | when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow" | |
90 | and "hosts deny" parameters in config file. | |
91 | ||
92 | * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1. | |
93 | ||
90045413 WD |
94 | * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file |
95 | that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and | |
96 | Wayne Davison) | |
97 | ||
d594399c WD |
98 | * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files |
99 | to not get backed up. | |
100 | ||
860bdd45 WD |
101 | * When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode |
102 | 0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the | |
103 | backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree). | |
104 | ||
2c873122 WD |
105 | * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner. |
106 | ||
aa6dc37c WD |
107 | * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly |
108 | what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison) | |
2c873122 WD |
109 | |
110 | * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when | |
111 | using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison) | |
4a7ee79d | 112 | |
d89a3a31 S |
113 | * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing |
114 | special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or | |
115 | --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the | |
116 | same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a | |
117 | regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz) | |
118 | ||
6a7cc46c | 119 | * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and |
52fa4d78 | 120 | readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated |
6a7cc46c S |
121 | files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz) |
122 | ||
65653a65 WD |
123 | * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings |
124 | if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt. | |
125 | ||
89855e78 WD |
126 | INTERNAL: |
127 | ||
58665d23 | 128 | * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped |
89855e78 WD |
129 | supporting. (J.W. Schultz) |
130 | ||
58665d23 | 131 | * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) |
89855e78 | 132 | |
52e628a8 WD |
133 | * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new |
134 | defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) | |
135 | ||
aa6dc37c WD |
136 | * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a |
137 | lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides. | |
138 | Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value | |
139 | we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes). | |
140 | (Wayne Davison) |
