| 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED) |
| 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
| 3 | Changes since 2.6.5: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list. |
| 8 | This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances |
| 9 | (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was |
| 10 | combined with --list-dest). |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right: |
| 13 | without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though |
| 14 | it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the |
| 15 | file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of |
| 16 | a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other |
| 17 | totally unchanged items). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup |
| 20 | item so that we don't get an already-exists error. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- |
| 23 | time were not honoring the --modify-window option. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a |
| 28 | per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options |
| 31 | that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was |
| 32 | also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing |
| 33 | of a pull operation that has multiple sources. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | BUILD CHANGES: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and |
| 38 | NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we |
| 39 | find in the /etc/group file). |
| 40 | |
| 41 | - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of |
| 42 | -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. |
