1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (UNRELEASED) |
2 | Protocol: 28 (unchanged) | |
3 | Changes since 2.6.3: | |
4 | ||
5 | BUG FIXES: | |
6 | ||
7 | - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3 | |
8 | was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude | |
9 | file). | |
10 | ||
1ed55e3e WD |
11 | - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination |
12 | that already exists in the --backup-dir. | |
13 | ||

14 | - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed |
15 | setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with | |
16 | mkstemp(). | |
17 | ||
18 | - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating | |
19 | FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when | |
20 | necessary. | |
21 | ||

22 | - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. |
23 | ||
5d54f339 WD |
24 | - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure. |

26 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
27 | ||
8f1b4f36 WD |
28 | - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can |
29 | use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. | |
30 | ||
87ba7282 WD |
31 | - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir). |
32 | ||
18ea5dc0 WD |
33 | - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options |
34 | so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a | |
35 | user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that | |
36 | could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects. | |
37 | ||
8f1b4f36 WD |
38 | - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon |
39 | to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value | |
40 | that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. | |
41 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
42 | - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received |
43 | file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the | |
44 | partial file. | |
45 | ||
46 | BUILD CHANGES: | |
47 | ||
87ba7282 | 48 | - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). |
