| | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.8 (UNRELEASED) |
| | 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
| | 3 | Changes since 2.6.7: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any |
| | 8 | wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative |
| | 9 | is in effect. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the |
| | 12 | receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call |
| | 13 | never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about |
| | 14 | the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel). |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored |
| | 17 | in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection). |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit |
| | 20 | instead of silently ignoring the option. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the |
| | 25 | error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the |
| | 28 | message. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is |
| | 31 | easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines. |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the |
| | 34 | attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info) |
| | 35 | taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of |
| | 42 | a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its |
| | 43 | actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present). |
