	1	NEWS for rsync 2.6.1 (UNRELEASED)
	2	Protocol: 27 (unchanged)
	3	Changes since 2.6.0:
	4
	5	ENHANCEMENTS:
	6
	7	* The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
	8	"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
	9	(Bardur Arantsson)
	10
	11	BUG FIXES:
	12
	13	* The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
	14	when the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -u was
	15	specified, and when the group of the source can't be used on
	16	the destination and -g was specified. (Wayne Davison)
	17
	18	* Fixed the caching of the full PATH/NAME strings to avoid the
	19	current name getting lost if too many other names were
	20	expanded during the processing (such as when -H was
	21	specified). (Wayne Davison)
	22
	23	* Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
	24	--partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
	25	shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
	26	the wire.
	27
	28	INTERNAL:
	29
	30	* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which has a particularly
	31	large effect under MS Windows. (Craig Xxx and Wayne Davison)
	32
	33	* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
	34	some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
	35	sets. (Wayne Davison)

	38	NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
	39	Protocol: 27 (changed)
	40	Changes since 2.5.7:
	41
	42	ENHANCEMENTS:
	43
	44	* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
	45	change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
	46
	47	* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
	48	Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
	49	files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
	50
	51	* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
	52	27. (J.W. Schultz)
	53
	54	* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
	55	per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
	56	provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
	57	algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
	58	checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
	59
	60	* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
	61	unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
	62
	63	* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
	64	sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
	65	file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
	66
	67	* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
	68
	69	BUG FIXES:
	70
	71	* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
	72	This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
	73	matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
	74	cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
	75	what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
	76
	77	- A pattern with a "*" no longer causes a "" to match slashes.
	78	For example, with "//foo/*", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
	79	[If your string has BOTH "" and "*" wildcards, changing the
	80	"" wildcards to "*" will provide the old behavior in all
	81	versions.]
	82
	83	- "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
	84	does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	85
	86	- A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
	87	the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
	88	just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
	89	to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	90
	91	- Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
	92	against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
	93	there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
	94	would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
	95	"/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
	96	old behavior in all versions.]
	97
	98	* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
	99	properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
	100	user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
	101
	102	* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
	103	block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
	104	Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
	105	(Craig Barratt)
	106
	107	* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
	108	mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
	109	counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
	110	file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
	111
	112	* Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
	113	multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
	114	(Wayne Davison)
	115
	116	* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
	117
	118	* Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
	119
	120	* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
	121	consistent manner.
	122
	123	* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
	124
	125	* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
	126	when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
	127	and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
	128
	129	* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
	130
	131	* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
	132	that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
	133	Wayne Davison)
	134
	135	* Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
	136	to not get backed up.
	137
	138	* When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
	139	0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
	140	backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
	141
	142	* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
	143
	144	* Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
	145	what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
	146
	147	* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
	148	using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
	149
	150	* Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
	151	special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
	152	--compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
	153	same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
	154	regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
	155
	156	* Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
	157	readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
	158	files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
	159
	160	* Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
	161	if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
	162
	163	INTERNAL:
	164
	165	* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
	166	supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
	167
	168	* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
	169
	170	* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
	171	defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
	172
	173	* Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
	174	lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
	175	Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
	176	we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
	177	(Wayne Davison)
