f90f7149 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED) |
3ae6c187 | 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
f90f7149 | 3 | Changes since 2.6.6: |
9db17434 | 4 | |
ac1541f4 WD |
5 | BUG FIXES: |
6 | ||
56961bec WD |
7 | - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again. |
8 | ||
9 | - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device | |
10 | instead of just updating the permissions. | |
4fdb03a6 | 11 | |
9425918d WD |
12 | - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination, |
13 | we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination | |
14 | hostspec as a filename. | |
15 | ||
7ea7bebf WD |
16 | - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with |
17 | permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when | |
18 | the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file. | |
19 | ||
ec69bdbd WD |
20 | - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output |
21 | algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data. | |
22 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
23 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
24 | ||
870dddc5 WD |
25 | - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files |
26 | that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new | |
27 | files). | |
28 | ||
f90f7149 WD |
29 | - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the |
30 | preservation of attributes on symlinks. | |
7d7a34ae | 31 | |
870dddc5 WD |
32 | - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec" |
33 | and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a | |
34 | per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode | |
35 | transfer. | |
5b9cc695 | 36 | |
56961bec WD |
37 | - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in |
38 | the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs | |
39 | should start. For example, if you specify a source path of | |
40 | rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only | |
41 | replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing | |
42 | dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash). | |
43 | ||
a912a980 WD |
44 | - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override |
45 | unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka | |
46 | "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of | |
47 | file ownership that is implied by -a. | |
48 | ||
ec69bdbd WD |
49 | - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, |
50 | which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. | |
51 | ||
5b9cc695 WD |
52 | INTERNAL: |
53 | ||
54 | - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where | |
55 | MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). | |
56 | ||
57 | - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit | |
58 | with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. |
