	1	NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
	2	Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
	3	Changes since 2.6.6:
	4
	5	BUG FIXES:
	6
	7	- Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
	8
	9	- If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
	10	permissions without recreating the file.
	11
	12	- If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
	13	we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
	14	hostspec as a filename.
	15
	16	- When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
	17	permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
	18	the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
	19
	20	- Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
	21	algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
	22
	23	- Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
	24	fails.
	25
	26	- Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
	27
	28	- If the generator gets a stat() error on a file, output it (this used to
	29	require at least -vv for the error to be seen).
	30
	31	- If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle
	32	the exit status properly and generate a better error.
	33
	34	ENHANCEMENTS:
	35
	36	- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
	37	that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
	38	files).
	39
	40	- If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
	41	preservation of attributes on symlinks.
	42
	43	- Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
	44	and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
	45	per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
	46	transfer.
	47
	48	- When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
	49	the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
	50	should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
	51	rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
	52	replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
	53	dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
	54
	55	- Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
	56	unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
	57	"--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
	58	file ownership that is implied by -a.
	59
	60	- Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
	61	which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
	62
	63	- If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
	64	now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
	65
	66	- Some minor documentation improvements.
	67
	68	- Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
	69
	70	INTERNAL:
	71
	72	- Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
	73	MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
	74
	75	- If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
	76	with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
	77
	78	DEVELOPER RELATED:
	79
	80	- Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
	81	configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
	82	the newly patched feature.
