17 | ENHANCEMENTS |
18 | ||
19 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
20 | included or excluded and why. | |
21 | ||
22 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
23 | details. | |
24 | ||
25 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
26 | ||
27 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
28 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
29 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
30 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
31 | ||
32 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
33 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
34 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
35 | installed on the platform. | |
36 | ||
37 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
38 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
39 | ||
40 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
41 | ||
42 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
43 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
44 | ||
45 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
46 | local machine. | |
47 | ||
48 | BUG FIXES: | |
49 | ||
50 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
51 | ||
52 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
53 | ||
54 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
55 | to transfer fail to transfer | |

59 | PLATFORMS: |
60 | ||
61 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
0b21c485 MP |
62 | |
63 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
64 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
65 | ||
66 | TESTING: | |
67 | ||
68 | * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a | |
69 | test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba | |
70 | build farm. |
