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 |

17 | ENHANCEMENTS |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
| 20 | included or excluded and why. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
| 23 | details. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
| 28 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
| 29 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
| 30 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
| 33 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
| 34 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
| 35 | installed on the platform. | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
| 38 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
| 43 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
| 46 | local machine. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
| 55 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
| 56 | ||

57 | * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison. |
| 58 | ||

59 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might |
| 60 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an | |
| 61 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) | |
| 62 | ||

63 | PLATFORMS: |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
| 0b21c485 MP |
66 | |
| 67 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
| 68 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | TESTING: | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a | |
| 73 | test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba | |
| 74 | build farm. | |
