| 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 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped |
| 31 | characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output |
| 32 | using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". |
| 33 | |
| 34 | INTERNAL: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). |
| 37 | |
| 38 | BUILD CHANGES: |
| 39 | |
| 40 | - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). |
| 41 | |
| 42 | - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they |
| 43 | refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that |
| 46 | the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s |
| 47 | presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. |
