1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED) |
2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) | |
3 | Changes since 2.6.4: | |
ac1541f4 WD |
4 | |
5 | BUG FIXES: | |
6 | ||
3ae6c187 WD |
7 | - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did |
8 | not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the | |
4f3f97fb | 9 | rsyncd.conf file. |
e30b1fb8 | 10 | |
3ae6c187 WD |
11 | - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write |
12 | permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. | |
278e3d4f | 13 | |
67de72bd WD |
14 | - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the |
15 | basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i | |
4f3f97fb | 16 | is in effect. |
67de72bd | 17 | |
92739a0a WD |
18 | - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after |
19 | processing. | |
20 | ||
21 | - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in | |
22 | addition to its use in daemon mode). | |
23 | ||
24 | - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete | |
25 | processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a | |
26 | newline. | |
27 | ||
b28a27e9 WD |
28 | - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer |
29 | to it as a "file". | |
30 | ||

31 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
32 | ||
298d8c0a WD |
33 | - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead |
34 | of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any | |
2e8015e0 WD |
35 | actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all |
36 | the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you | |
37 | are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). | |
298d8c0a | 38 | |
3ae6c187 WD |
39 | - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped |
40 | characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output | |
41 | using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". | |
a897af2c | 42 | |
d7d11b7e | 43 | - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include |
f96154f4 | 44 | some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, |
b28a27e9 | 45 | password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) |
f96154f4 WD |
46 | |
47 | - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that | |
48 | it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we | |
49 | really did expect the socket to close). | |
50 | ||
f97f6bcd WD |
51 | - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall |
52 | back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally | |
53 | silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). | |
54 | ||

55 | INTERNAL: |
56 | ||
3ae6c187 | 57 | - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). |

59 | BUILD CHANGES: |
60 | ||
d7d11b7e WD |
61 | - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented |
62 | rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. | |
63 | ||
3ae6c187 | 64 | - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). |
92739a0a WD |
65 | |
66 | - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they | |
67 | refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). | |
68 | ||
69 | - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that | |
70 | the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s | |
71 | presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. |
