3 ENHANCEMENTS:
4
5 * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
6
7 * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
8 Zimmerman)
9
10 * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
11 specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
12 server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
13 as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
14
15 * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
16 destination field.
17
18 * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
19 rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
20
21 * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
22 unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
23 (J.W. Schultz)
24
25 * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
26 rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
27
28 * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
29 Middleton)
30
31 * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
32 and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
33
34 * Set the default value of --modify-window to 1 on Cygwin. (Lapo
35 Luchini)
36
37 * Open config files in text mode when O_TEXT is defined. This helps
38 on Cygwin when the config files are on a filesystem that are mounted
39 in binary mode. (Ville Herva)
40
41 * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
42 (Dave Dykstra)
43
44 BUG FIXES:
45
46 * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
47 L. Allen, Martin Pool)
48
49 * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
50 in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
51 timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
52
53 * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
54
55 * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
56
57 * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
58 contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
59 list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
60
61 * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
62 dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
63
64 * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
65 processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
66 an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
67
68 * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
69 broken. (Dave Dykstra)
70
71 * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
72 (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
73
74 * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
75 when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
76
77 INTERNAL:
78
79 * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
80 Pool, Nelson Beebe)
81
82 * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
83
84 * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
85
86 * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
87
88 * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
89 (Jos Backus)
90
91 * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
92 means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
