| 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 | 16 | - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as |
| b2501ccf WD |
17 | that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position |
| 18 | beyond the failed read's data. | |
| c7b9ebb5 | 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 | ||
| f8db4a8a WD |
27 | - Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as |
| 28 | fifos) from being linked. | |
| 29 | ||
| 08c0cd8a WD |
30 | - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at |
| 31 | configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest | |
| 32 | creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system. | |
| 33 | ||
| ac1541f4 WD |
34 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 35 | ||
| 3c987ee9 WD |
36 | - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the |
| 37 | error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. | |
| 38 | ||
| ac98cd98 WD |
39 | - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the |
| 40 | message. | |
| 41 | ||
| e09d8a30 WD |
42 | - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex |
| 43 | that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines. | |
| 7c329ec7 | 44 | |
| e09d8a30 | 45 | - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the |
| 69627d66 | 46 | attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info) |
| 8b3e964d WD |
47 | taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. |
| 48 | ||
| 7c329ec7 WD |
49 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| 50 | ||
| 08c0cd8a WD |
51 | - Removd two unused configure checks and two related (also unused) |
| 52 | compatibility functions. | |
| 53 | ||
| 3c987ee9 WD |
54 | - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. |
| 55 | ||
| 7c329ec7 WD |
56 | - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of |
| 57 | a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its | |
| 8b3e964d | 58 | actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present). |
