1fdf0302 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (UNRELEASED) |
3cbe640d | 2 | Protocol: 30 (unchanged) |
1fdf0302 | 3 | Changes since 3.0.3: |
469ff84e | 4 | |
ac1541f4 WD |
5 | BUG FIXES: |
6 | ||
92d706a2 | 7 | - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to |
f8722dba | 8 | allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX). |
9e58ef45 | 9 | |
a25aed50 WD |
10 | - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number |
11 | of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD). | |
12 | ||
fa181223 WD |
13 | - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This |
14 | particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot | |
15 | be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if | |
16 | the --remove-source-files was also specified. | |
17 | ||
581c830c WD |
18 | - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the |
19 | destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that | |
20 | a non-root copy can't affect. | |
21 | ||
f8722dba WD |
22 | - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in |
23 | incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled. | |
ee03cb99 | 24 | |
91dd3d0d | 25 | - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead |
8c2c0089 WD |
26 | of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides |
27 | of the transfer). | |
91dd3d0d | 28 | |
95d1d2a9 | 29 | - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side, |
8c2c0089 | 30 | this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail |
bc233771 WD |
31 | silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled |
32 | due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified). | |
95d1d2a9 | 33 | |
fc088e30 | 34 | - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename, |
bc233771 WD |
35 | the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name |
36 | with the wrong charset conversion. | |
fc088e30 | 37 | |
92d706a2 WD |
38 | - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating |
39 | the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings. | |
40 | ||
9ed56948 WD |
41 | - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr. |
42 | ||
d11a5b80 WD |
43 | - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number |
44 | (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation). | |
45 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
46 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
47 | ||
9e58ef45 | 48 | - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol |
f8722dba | 49 | is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the |
9e58ef45 | 50 | user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive |
f8722dba | 51 | server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server. |
92d706a2 | 52 | |
f3d87ee9 WD |
53 | - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit. |
54 | ||
92d706a2 WD |
55 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
56 | ||
57 | - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile | |
58 | or the configure files, only for actual changes in content. | |
59 | ||
bc233771 WD |
60 | - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync" |
61 | instead of "$RSYNC". | |
62 | ||
63 | - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and | |
64 | to do even more consistency checks on the files. |
