1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED) |
2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) | |
3 | Changes since 2.6.4: | |

5 | OUTPUT CHANGES: |
6 | ||
7 | - Non-printable chars in filenames are now output using backslash- | |
8 | escaped characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is | |
9 | output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash | |
10 | is now output as "\\". Rsync also uses your locale setting, which | |
9b3150bd WD |
11 | should make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable (when |
12 | appropriate). | |
13 | ||
14 | - If rsync received an empty file list when pulling files, it would | |
15 | output an "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit | |
16 | status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do | |
17 | this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed | |
18 | to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior -- we | |
19 | now do the normal end-of-run outputting (depending on options) and | |
20 | exit with the appropriate exit status. | |

22 | BUG FIXES: |
23 | ||
3ae6c187 WD |
24 | - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did |
25 | not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the | |
4f3f97fb | 26 | rsyncd.conf file. |
e30b1fb8 | 27 | |
42e9c7eb | 28 | - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified |
b2360dab | 29 | that might have caused an infinite loop or perhaps a crash. |
42e9c7eb | 30 | |
3ae6c187 WD |
31 | - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write |
32 | permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. | |
278e3d4f | 33 | |
67de72bd WD |
34 | - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the |
35 | basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i | |
4f3f97fb | 36 | is in effect. |
67de72bd | 37 | |
92739a0a WD |
38 | - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after |
39 | processing. | |
40 | ||
41 | - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in | |
42 | addition to its use in daemon mode). | |
43 | ||
44 | - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete | |
45 | processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a | |
46 | newline. | |
47 | ||
b28a27e9 WD |
48 | - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer |
49 | to it as a "file". | |
50 | ||
42e9c7eb WD |
51 | - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any |
52 | generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to | |
53 | the file by the destination filename. | |
54 | ||
55 | - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the | |
56 | generator hasn't created the destination directory yet. | |
57 | ||
58 | - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked | |
59 | to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest | |
60 | of the cluster. | |
61 | ||
f4b8e829 WD |
62 | - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync |
63 | no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the | |
64 | receiving side. | |
65 | ||
b2360dab WD |
66 | - Fixed a compatibility problem when using --cvs-ignore (-C) and |
67 | sending files to an older rsync without using --delete. | |

69 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
70 | ||
298d8c0a WD |
71 | - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead |
72 | of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any | |
2e8015e0 WD |
73 | actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all |
74 | the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you | |
75 | are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). | |
298d8c0a | 76 | |
060f3150 WD |
77 | - When the generator is taking a long time to fill up its output buffer |
78 | (e.g. if the transferred files are few, small, or missing), it now | |
79 | periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver | |
80 | can get started on the files sooner rather than later. | |
a897af2c | 81 | |
d7d11b7e | 82 | - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include |
f96154f4 | 83 | some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, |
b28a27e9 | 84 | password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) |
f96154f4 WD |
85 | |
86 | - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that | |
87 | it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we | |
88 | really did expect the socket to close). | |
89 | ||
f97f6bcd WD |
90 | - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall |
91 | back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally | |
92 | silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). | |
93 | ||

94 | INTERNAL: |
95 | ||
3ae6c187 | 96 | - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). |
00fd3548 | 97 | |

98 | BUILD CHANGES: |
99 | ||
d7d11b7e WD |
100 | - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented |
101 | rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. | |
102 | ||
3ae6c187 | 103 | - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). |
92739a0a WD |
104 | |
105 | - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they | |
106 | refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). | |
107 | ||
108 | - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that | |
109 | the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s | |
110 | presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. |
