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