1NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
2Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
3Changes since 2.6.6:
4
5 BUG FIXES:
6
7 - Made hard-linked symlinks and devices work again.
8
9 - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
10 we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
11 hostspec as a filename.
12
13 - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
14 permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
15 the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
16
17 ENHANCEMENTS:
18
19 - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
20 that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
21 files).
22
23 - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
24 preservation of attributes on symlinks.
25
26 - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
27 and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
28 per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
29 transfer.
30
31 INTERNAL:
32
33 - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
34 MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
35
36 - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
37 with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
