| | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED) |
| | 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
| | 3 | Changes since 2.6.4: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did |
| | 8 | not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the |
| | 9 | rsyncd.conf file. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write |
| | 12 | permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the |
| | 15 | basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i |
| | 16 | is in effect. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after |
| | 19 | processing. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in |
| | 22 | addition to its use in daemon mode). |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete |
| | 25 | processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a |
| | 26 | newline. |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer |
| | 29 | to it as a "file". |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead |
| | 34 | of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any |
| | 35 | actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all |
| | 36 | the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you |
| | 37 | are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped |
| | 40 | characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output |
| | 41 | using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include |
| | 44 | some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, |
| | 45 | password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that |
| | 48 | it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we |
| | 49 | really did expect the socket to close). |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall |
| | 52 | back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally |
| | 53 | silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | INTERNAL: |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | BUILD CHANGES: |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented |
| | 62 | rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they |
| | 67 | refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that |
| | 70 | the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s |
| | 71 | presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. |
