31 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
32 | ||
bc2b4963 | 33 | * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
759ac870 | 34 | |
bc2b4963 | 35 | * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael |
759ac870 DD |
36 | Zimmerman) |
37 | ||
d2d9fe18 WD |
38 | * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the |
39 | specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) | |
40 | server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such | |
bc2b4963 | 41 | as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) |
d2d9fe18 | 42 | |
93eff16a WD |
43 | * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the |
44 | destination field. | |
45 | ||
f8a94f0d | 46 | * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", |
bc2b4963 | 47 | rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) |
f8a94f0d | 48 | |
59c95e42 DD |
49 | * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that |
50 | unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. | |
51 | (J.W. Schultz) | |
52 | ||
1b85e3f1 | 53 | * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an |
bc2b4963 | 54 | rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) |
1b85e3f1 | 55 | |
ee7118a8 DD |

57 | Middleton) | |

60 | and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) | |
61 | ||
7f653755 DD |

63 | terminations. (J.W. Schultz) | |

71 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) | |
1433e6da | 72 | |
d2d9fe18 WD |
73 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
74 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents | |
75 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) | |
76 | ||
dd0628f8 MP |
77 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |

80 | ||

81 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
82 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file | |
83 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) | |
84 | ||
ac6ce983 WD |
85 | * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple |
86 | dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) | |
87 | ||
ee7118a8 DD |

89 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing | |
90 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) | |
91 | ||
1f1fbe18 DD |
92 | * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely |
93 | broken. (Dave Dykstra) | |
94 | ||
b765ec32 | 95 | * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. |
aa2c47d8 | 96 | (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) |

99 | when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) | |
100 | ||
