9e88f057 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.8 (UNRELEASED) |
3ae6c187 | 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
9e88f057 | 3 | Changes since 2.6.7: |
36f59b58 | 4 | |
ac1541f4 WD |
5 | BUG FIXES: |
6 | ||
9e88f057 | 7 | - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any |
7c329ec7 WD |
8 | wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative |
9 | is in effect. | |
b5cf121d | 10 | |
a27042b5 WD |
11 | - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the |
12 | receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call | |
13 | never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about | |
14 | the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel). | |
15 | ||
c7b9ebb5 WD |
16 | - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as |
17 | that caused by a bad sector) would make rsync think that the file's | |
18 | read-position was left after the failed read's data. | |
19 | ||
ac98cd98 | 20 | - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored |
e09d8a30 WD |
21 | in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by |
22 | init). | |
ac98cd98 WD |
23 | |
24 | - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit | |
25 | instead of silently ignoring the option. | |
26 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
27 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
28 | ||
3c987ee9 WD |
29 | - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the |
30 | error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. | |
31 | ||
ac98cd98 WD |
32 | - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the |
33 | message. | |
34 | ||
e09d8a30 WD |
35 | - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex |
36 | that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines. | |
7c329ec7 | 37 | |
e09d8a30 | 38 | - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the |
69627d66 | 39 | attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info) |
8b3e964d WD |
40 | taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. |

42 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
43 | ||
3c987ee9 WD |
44 | - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. |
45 | ||
7c329ec7 WD |
46 | - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of |
47 | a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its | |
8b3e964d | 48 | actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present). |
