	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 a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might
	19	cause the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to
	20	get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
	21	(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	* Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
	29	machines. (Jay Fenlason)
	30
	31	INTERNAL:
	32
	33	* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
	34	large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
	35
	36	* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
	37	some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
	38	sets. (Wayne Davison)
	39
	40	* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.
	41	(Wayne Davison)
	42
	43	* Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
	44	(J.W. Schultz)

	47	NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
	48	Protocol: 27 (changed)
	49	Changes since 2.5.7:
	50
	51	ENHANCEMENTS:
	52
	53	* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
	54	change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
	55
	56	* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
	57	Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
	58	files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
	59
	60	* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
	61	27. (J.W. Schultz)
	62
	63	* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
	64	per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
	65	provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
	66	algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
	67	checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
	68
	69	* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
	70	unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
	71
	72	* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
	73	sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
	74	file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
	75
	76	* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
	77
	78	BUG FIXES:
	79
	80	* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
	81	This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
	82	matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
	83	cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
	84	what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
	85
	86	- A pattern with a "*" no longer causes a "" to match slashes.
	87	For example, with "//foo/*", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
	88	[If your string has BOTH "" and "*" wildcards, changing the
	89	"" wildcards to "*" will provide the old behavior in all
	90	versions.]
	91
	92	- "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
	93	does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	94
	95	- A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
	96	the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
	97	just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
	98	to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	99
	100	- Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
	101	against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
	102	there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
	103	would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
	104	"/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
	105	old behavior in all versions.]
	106
	107	* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
	108	properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
	109	user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
	110
	111	* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
	112	block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
	113	Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
	114	(Craig Barratt)
	115
	116	* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
	117	mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
	118	counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
	119	file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
	120
	121	* Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
	122	multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
	123	(Wayne Davison)
	124
	125	* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
	126
	127	* Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
	128
	129	* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
	130	consistent manner.
	131
	132	* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
	133
	134	* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
	135	when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
	136	and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
	137
	138	* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
	139
	140	* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
	141	that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
	142	Wayne Davison)
	143
	144	* Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
	145	to not get backed up.
	146
	147	* When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
	148	0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
	149	backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
	150
	151	* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
	152
	153	* Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
	154	what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
	155
	156	* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
	157	using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
	158
	159	* Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
	160	special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
	161	--compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
	162	same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
	163	regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
	164
	165	* Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
	166	readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
	167	files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
	168
	169	* Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
	170	if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
	171
	172	INTERNAL:
	173
	174	* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
	175	supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
	176
	177	* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
	178
	179	* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
	180	defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
	181
	182	* Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
	183	lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
	184	Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
	185	we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
	186	(Wayne Davison)
