89855e78 | 1 | NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7 |
195bd906 | 2 | Protocol: 27 (changed) |
89855e78 WD |
3 | Changes since version 2.5.6: |
4 | ||
5 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
6 | ||
58665d23 | 7 | * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0. |
89855e78 WD |
8 | Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the |
9 | --*-from options. (Wayne Davison) | |
10 | ||
58665d23 WD |
11 | * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison |
12 | 27. (J.W. Schultz) | |
195bd906 | 13 | |
58665d23 WD |
14 | * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). |
15 | The per-file checksum size is determined according | |
16 | to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which | |
17 | reduces the probability of rsync algorithm | |
18 | corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4 | |
19 | checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda) | |
195bd906 | 20 | |
727fa368 WD |
21 | * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary |
22 | unless the verbose option was specified at least twice. | |
23 | ||

24 | BUG FIXES: |
25 | ||
f2fe4903 WD |
26 | * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards. |
27 | This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the | |
28 | matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not | |
29 | cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like | |
30 | what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison) | |
31 | ||
592f4696 WD |
32 | - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes. |
33 | For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep. | |
34 | ||
f2fe4903 WD |
35 | - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo). |
36 | ||
37 | - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of | |
38 | the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path, | |
39 | just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. | |
40 | ||
41 | - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched | |
42 | against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if | |
43 | there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar" | |
44 | would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as | |
45 | "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance). | |
46 | ||

47 | * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now |
48 | properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the | |
90045413 | 49 | user's file args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison) |
52e628a8 | 50 | |
da2bcdd1 | 51 | * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the |
58665d23 WD |
52 | block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. |
53 | Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. | |
54 | (Craig Barratt) | |
195bd906 | 55 | |
da2bcdd1 | 56 | * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in |
58665d23 WD |
57 | mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit |
58 | counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for | |
59 | file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) | |
195bd906 | 60 | |
da2bcdd1 | 61 | * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and |
89855e78 WD |
62 | multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir. |
63 | (Wayne Davison) | |
64 | ||
58665d23 | 65 | * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. |
89855e78 | 66 | |
da2bcdd1 | 67 | * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g. |
fab1f889 | 68 | |
8113a033 WD |
69 | * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more |
70 | consistent manner. | |
71 | ||
9b746433 | 72 | * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) |
fab1f889 | 73 | |
90045413 WD |
74 | * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file |
75 | that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and | |
76 | Wayne Davison) | |
77 | ||
d594399c WD |
78 | * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files |
79 | to not get backed up. | |
80 | ||
2c873122 WD |
81 | * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner. |
82 | ||
4a7ee79d | 83 | * Improved the mkstemp error message to always include the directory |
2c873122 WD |
84 | info where the temp file is being created. (Wayne Davison) |
85 | ||
86 | * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when | |
87 | using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison) | |
4a7ee79d | 88 | |
d89a3a31 S |
89 | * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing |
90 | special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or | |
91 | --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the | |
92 | same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a | |
93 | regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz) | |
94 | ||
89855e78 WD |
95 | INTERNAL: |
96 | ||
58665d23 | 97 | * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped |
89855e78 WD |
98 | supporting. (J.W. Schultz) |
99 | ||
58665d23 | 100 | * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) |
89855e78 | 101 | |
52e628a8 WD |
102 | * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new |
103 | defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) | |

3742bf3a | 107 | Protocol: 26 (unchanged) |
8395d246 | 108 | Changes since version 2.5.5: |
6c92af20 | 109 | |
759ac870 DD |
110 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
111 | ||
bc2b4963 | 112 | * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
759ac870 | 113 | |
bc2b4963 | 114 | * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael |
759ac870 DD |
115 | Zimmerman) |
116 | ||
d2d9fe18 WD |
117 | * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the |
118 | specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) | |
119 | server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such | |
bc2b4963 | 120 | as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) |
d2d9fe18 | 121 | |
93eff16a WD |
122 | * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the |
123 | destination field. | |
124 | ||
f8a94f0d | 125 | * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", |
bc2b4963 | 126 | rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) |
f8a94f0d | 127 | |
59c95e42 DD |
128 | * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that |
129 | unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. | |
130 | (J.W. Schultz) | |
131 | ||
1b85e3f1 | 132 | * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an |
bc2b4963 | 133 | rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) |
1b85e3f1 | 134 | |
ee7118a8 DD |
135 | * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon |
136 | Middleton) | |
137 | ||
bc2b4963 DD |
138 | * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" |
139 | and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) | |
140 | ||
7f653755 DD |
141 | * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line |
142 | terminations. (J.W. Schultz) | |
536b8468 | 143 | |
f0b4fdaf DD |
144 | * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. |
145 | (Dave Dykstra) | |
146 | ||
6c92af20 | 147 | BUG FIXES: |
89855e78 | 148 | |
6c92af20 MP |
149 | * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John |
150 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) | |
1433e6da | 151 | |
d2d9fe18 WD |
152 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
153 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents | |
154 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) | |
155 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
156 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |
157 | ||
991f90f2 MP |
158 | * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) |
159 | ||
93eff16a WD |
160 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
161 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file | |
162 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) | |
163 | ||
ac6ce983 WD |
164 | * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple |
165 | dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) | |
166 | ||
ee7118a8 DD |
167 | * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child |
168 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing | |
169 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) | |
170 | ||
1f1fbe18 DD |
171 | * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely |
172 | broken. (Dave Dykstra) | |
173 | ||
b765ec32 | 174 | * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. |
aa2c47d8 | 175 | (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) |
b765ec32 | 176 | |
1b3cadaa DD |
177 | * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories |
178 | when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) | |
179 | ||
9f639210 DD |
180 | * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) |
181 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
182 | INTERNAL: |
183 | ||
89855e78 | 184 | * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin |
bdae761e | 185 | Pool, Nelson Beebe) |
dd0628f8 | 186 | |
ac6ce983 WD |
187 | * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) |
188 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
189 | * More test cases. (Martin Pool) |
190 | ||
521e6fdc WD |
191 | * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) |
192 | ||
b1a2f37a WD |
193 | * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. |
194 | (Jos Backus) | |
1985aa96 PG |
195 | |
196 | * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this | |
755bcd37 | 197 | means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green) |
