| 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 | BUG FIXES: |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John |
| 37 | L. Allen, Martin Pool) |
| 38 | |
| 39 | * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not |
| 40 | in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents |
| 41 | timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) |
| 44 | |
| 45 | * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) |
| 46 | |
| 47 | * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that |
| 48 | contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file |
| 49 | list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) |
| 50 | |
| 51 | * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child |
| 52 | processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing |
| 53 | an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) |
| 54 | |
| 55 | INTERNAL: |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin |
| 58 | Pool, Nelson Beebe) |
| 59 | |
| 60 | * More test cases. (Martin Pool) |
| 61 | |
| 62 | * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. |
