1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (UNRELEASED) |
2 | Protocol: 28 (unchanged) | |
3 | Changes since 2.6.3: | |
4 | ||
5 | BUG FIXES: | |
6 | ||
7 | - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3 | |
8 | was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude | |
9 | file). | |
10 | ||
1ed55e3e WD |
11 | - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination |
12 | that already exists in the --backup-dir. | |
13 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
14 | - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed |
15 | setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with | |
4a888ae6 WD |
16 | mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) |
17 | ||
18 | - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is | |
19 | the sender, and the file-list is large. | |
ac1541f4 WD |
20 | |
21 | - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating | |
22 | FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when | |
23 | necessary. | |
24 | ||
740bab94 WD |
25 | - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. |
26 | ||
22f5bd5e | 27 | - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed. |
5d54f339 | 28 | |
5b2f48da WD |
29 | - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks |
30 | that are being copied, even if they point nowhere. | |
31 | ||
ae09fb1f WD |
32 | - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the |
33 | referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the | |
34 | user and group of a symlink. | |

36 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
37 | ||
8f1b4f36 WD |
38 | - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can |
39 | use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. | |
40 | ||
7a1b73b9 | 41 | - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except |
c3131af9 | 42 | that it includes copies of identical files. |
7a1b73b9 | 43 | |
22f5bd5e WD |
44 | - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or |
45 | --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the | |
c3131af9 | 46 | patches dir and enhanced.) |
22f5bd5e | 47 | |
c3131af9 | 48 | - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.) |
7a1b73b9 | 49 | |
18ea5dc0 | 50 | - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options |
22f5bd5e WD |
51 | so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to |
52 | start a daemon that had improper default option values that could | |
53 | cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. | |
18ea5dc0 | 54 | |
8f1b4f36 WD |
55 | - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon |
56 | to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value | |
57 | that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. | |
58 | ||
c3131af9 WD |
59 | - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from |
60 | the patches dir.) | |
61 | ||
ac1541f4 WD |
62 | - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received |
63 | file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the | |
64 | partial file. | |
65 | ||
66 | BUILD CHANGES: | |
67 | ||
87ba7282 | 68 | - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). |
