	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	INTERNAL:
	29
	30	* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
	31	large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
	32
	33	* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
	34	some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
	35	sets. (Wayne Davison)
	36
	37	* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.

	41	NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
	42	Protocol: 27 (changed)
	43	Changes since 2.5.7:
	44
	45	ENHANCEMENTS:
	46
	47	* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
	48	change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
	49
	50	* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
	51	Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
	52	files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
	53
	54	* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
	55	27. (J.W. Schultz)
	56
	57	* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
	58	per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
	59	provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
	60	algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
	61	checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
	62
	63	* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
	64	unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
	65
	66	* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
	67	sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
	68	file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
	69
	70	* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
	71
	72	BUG FIXES:
	73
	74	* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
	75	This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
	76	matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
	77	cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
	78	what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
	79
	80	- A pattern with a "*" no longer causes a "" to match slashes.
	81	For example, with "//foo/*", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
	82	[If your string has BOTH "" and "*" wildcards, changing the
	83	"" wildcards to "*" will provide the old behavior in all
	84	versions.]
	85
	86	- "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
	87	does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	88
	89	- A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
	90	the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
	91	just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
	92	to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	93
	94	- Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
	95	against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
	96	there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
	97	would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
	98	"/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
	99	old behavior in all versions.]
	100
	101	* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
	102	properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
	103	user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
	104
	105	* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
	106	block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
	107	Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
	108	(Craig Barratt)
	109
	110	* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
	111	mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
	112	counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
	113	file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
	114
	115	* Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
	116	multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
	117	(Wayne Davison)
	118
	119	* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
	120
	121	* Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
	122
	123	* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
	124	consistent manner.
	125
	126	* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
	127
	128	* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
	129	when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
	130	and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
	131
	132	* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
	133
	134	* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
	135	that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
	136	Wayne Davison)
	137
	138	* Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
	139	to not get backed up.
	140
	141	* When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
	142	0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
	143	backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
	144
	145	* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
	146
	147	* Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
	148	what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
	149
	150	* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
	151	using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
	152
	153	* Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
	154	special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
	155	--compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
	156	same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
	157	regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
	158
	159	* Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
	160	readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
	161	files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
	162
	163	* Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
	164	if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
	165
	166	INTERNAL:
	167
	168	* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
	169	supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
	170
	171	* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
	172
	173	* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
	174	defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
	175
	176	* Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
	177	lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
	178	Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
	179	we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
	180	(Wayne Davison)
