| | 1 | rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :) -*- indented-text -*- |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | ANNOUNCEMENTS |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | NEW FEATURES |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch |
| | 14 | sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos |
| | 15 | Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html> |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems |
| | 18 | including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also |
| | 19 | includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the |
| | 20 | Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH |
| | 21 | portability project, and OpenBSD. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | ENHANCEMENTS |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are |
| | 26 | included or excluded and why. |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more |
| | 29 | details. |
| | 30 | |
| | 31 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log |
| | 34 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is |
| | 35 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log |
| | 36 | file to get cleaned out by another process. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing |
| | 39 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more |
| | 40 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not |
| | 41 | installed on the platform. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit |
| | 44 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, |
| | 49 | explain that we do it in a secure way. |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the |
| | 52 | local machine. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | BUG FIXES: |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang. |
| | 57 | |
| | 58 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked |
| | 63 | to transfer fail to transfer |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might |
| | 66 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an |
| | 67 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | PLATFORMS: |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf |
| | 74 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. |
| | 75 | |
| | 76 | TESTING: |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a |
| | 79 | test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba |
| | 80 | build farm. |
