| 1 | rsync changes since last release |
| 2 | |
| 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) |
