1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED) |
2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) | |
3 | Changes since 2.6.4: | |
ac1541f4 WD |
4 | |
5 | BUG FIXES: | |
6 | ||
3ae6c187 WD |
7 | - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did |
8 | not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the | |
4f3f97fb | 9 | rsyncd.conf file. |
e30b1fb8 | 10 | |
42e9c7eb WD |
11 | - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified |
12 | that might have caused an infininte loop or perhaps a crash. | |
13 | ||
3ae6c187 WD |
14 | - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write |
15 | permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. | |
278e3d4f | 16 | |
67de72bd WD |
17 | - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the |
18 | basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i | |
4f3f97fb | 19 | is in effect. |
67de72bd | 20 | |
92739a0a WD |
21 | - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after |
22 | processing. | |
23 | ||
24 | - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in | |
25 | addition to its use in daemon mode). | |
26 | ||
27 | - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete | |
28 | processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a | |
29 | newline. | |
30 | ||
b28a27e9 WD |
31 | - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer |
32 | to it as a "file". | |
33 | ||
42e9c7eb WD |
34 | - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any |
35 | generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to | |
36 | the file by the destination filename. | |
37 | ||
38 | - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the | |
39 | generator hasn't created the destination directory yet. | |
40 | ||
41 | - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked | |
42 | to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest | |
43 | of the cluster. | |
44 | ||
f4b8e829 WD |
45 | - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync |
46 | no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the | |
47 | receiving side. | |
48 | ||

49 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
50 | ||
298d8c0a WD |
51 | - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead |
52 | of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any | |
2e8015e0 WD |
53 | actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all |
54 | the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you | |
55 | are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). | |
298d8c0a | 56 | |
3ae6c187 WD |
57 | - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped |
58 | characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output | |
59 | using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". | |
a897af2c | 60 | |
d7d11b7e | 61 | - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include |
f96154f4 | 62 | some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, |
b28a27e9 | 63 | password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) |
f96154f4 WD |
64 | |
65 | - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that | |
66 | it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we | |
67 | really did expect the socket to close). | |
68 | ||
f97f6bcd WD |
69 | - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall |
70 | back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally | |
71 | silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). | |
72 | ||
a8fd4161 WD |
73 | INTERNAL: |
74 | ||
3ae6c187 | 75 | - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). |
00fd3548 | 76 | |
ac1541f4 WD |
77 | BUILD CHANGES: |
78 | ||
d7d11b7e WD |
79 | - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented |
80 | rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. | |
81 | ||
3ae6c187 | 82 | - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). |
92739a0a WD |
83 | |
84 | - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they | |
85 | refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). | |
86 | ||
87 | - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that | |
88 | the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s | |
89 | presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. |
