1 | rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :) |
2 | ||
3 | ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
4 | ||
5 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. | |
6 | ||
7 | NEW FEATURES | |
8 | ||
9 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> | |
10 | ||
11 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. | |
12 | ||
13 | ENHANCEMENTS | |
14 | ||
15 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
16 | included or excluded and why. | |
17 | ||
18 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
19 | details. | |
20 | ||
21 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
22 | ||
23 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
24 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
25 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
26 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
27 | ||
28 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
29 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
30 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
31 | installed on the platform. | |
32 | ||
33 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
34 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
35 | ||
36 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
37 | ||
38 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
39 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
40 | ||
41 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
42 | local machine. | |
43 | ||
44 | BUG FIXES: | |
45 | ||
46 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
47 | ||
48 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
49 | ||
50 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
51 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
52 | ||
53 | * Fix --cvs-exclude sigsegv bug. | |
54 | ||
