	1	NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
	2	Protocol: 27 (changed)
	3	Changes since 2.5.7:
	4
	5	ENHANCEMENTS:
	6
	7	* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
	8	change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
	9
	10	* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
	11	Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
	12	files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
	13
	14	* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
	15	27. (J.W. Schultz)
	16
	17	* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
	18	per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
	19	provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
	20	algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
	21	checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
	22
	23	* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
	24	unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
	25
	26	* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
	27	sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
	28	file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
	29
	30	* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
	31
	32	BUG FIXES:
	33
	34	* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
	35	This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
	36	matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
	37	cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
	38	what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
	39
	40	- A pattern with a "*" no longer causes a "" to match slashes.
	41	For example, with "//foo/*", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
	42	[If your string has BOTH "" and "*" wildcards, changing the
	43	"" wildcards to "*" will provide the old behavior in all
	44	versions.]
	45
	46	- "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
	47	does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	48
	49	- A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
	50	the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
	51	just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
	52	to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	53
	54	- Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
	55	against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
	56	there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
	57	would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
	58	"/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
	59	old behavior in all versions.]
	60
	61	* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
	62	properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
	63	user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
	64
	65	* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
	66	block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
	67	Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
	68	(Craig Barratt)
	69
	70	* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
	71	mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
	72	counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
	73	file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
	74
	75	* Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
	76	multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
	77	(Wayne Davison)
	78
	79	* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
	80
	81	* Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
	82
	83	* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
	84	consistent manner.
	85
	86	* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
	87
	88	* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
	89	when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
	90	and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
	91
	92	* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
	93
	94	* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
	95	that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
	96	Wayne Davison)
	97
	98	* Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
	99	to not get backed up.
	100
	101	* When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
	102	0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
	103	backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
	104
	105	* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
	106
	107	* Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
	108	what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
	109
	110	* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
	111	using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
	112
	113	* Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
	114	special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
	115	--compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
	116	same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
	117	regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
	118
	119	* Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
	120	readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
	121	files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
	122
	123	* Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
	124	if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
	125
	126	INTERNAL:
	127
	128	* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
	129	supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
	130
	131	* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
	132
	133	* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
	134	defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
	135
	136	* Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
	137	lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
	138	Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
	139	we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
	140	(Wayne Davison)
