| 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED) |
| 2 | Protocol: 30 (unchanged) |
| 3 | Changes since 3.0.2: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has |
| 8 | "use chroot" enabled. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a |
| 13 | --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the |
| 14 | destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev" |
| 17 | error. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- |
| 22 | exclude rule. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no |
| 25 | files) to a differently named, non-existent directory. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right |
| 30 | errno when a function failed. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a |
| 37 | newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or |
| 40 | a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count |
| 43 | (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid |
| 44 | checksum struct over the wire. |
| 45 | |
| 46 | - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded |
| 47 | arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude |
| 48 | check happen in the better place in the sending code. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). |
| 51 | |
| 52 | - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file |
| 53 | offsets. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 56 | |
| 57 | - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in |
| 58 | the daemon config file as "parameters". |
| 59 | |
| 60 | - The description of the --inplace option was improved. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| 63 | |
| 64 | - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some |
| 65 | compatibility improvements. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the |
| 68 | listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect |
| 69 | a dot-dir arg. |
| 70 | |
| 71 | - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory |
| 72 | from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and |
| 73 | the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get |
| 74 | rebuild without cause. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities |
| 77 | (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to |
| 80 | bleed-over into patches that follow. |
