| | 1 | NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (6 Sep 2008) |
| | 2 | Protocol: 30 (unchanged) |
| | 3 | Changes since 3.0.3: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to |
| | 8 | allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX). |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number |
| | 11 | of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD). |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This |
| | 14 | particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot |
| | 15 | be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if |
| | 16 | the --remove-source-files was also specified. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the |
| | 19 | destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that |
| | 20 | a non-root copy can't affect. |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in |
| | 23 | incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled. |
| | 24 | |
| | 25 | - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead |
| | 26 | of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides |
| | 27 | of the transfer). |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side, |
| | 30 | this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail |
| | 31 | silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled |
| | 32 | due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified). |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename, |
| | 35 | the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name |
| | 36 | with the wrong charset conversion. |
| | 37 | |
| | 38 | - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating |
| | 39 | the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings. |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr. |
| | 42 | |
| | 43 | - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number |
| | 44 | (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation). |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol |
| | 49 | is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the |
| | 50 | user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive |
| | 51 | server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server. |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile |
| | 58 | or the configure files, only for actual changes in content. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync" |
| | 61 | instead of "$RSYNC". |
| | 62 | |
| | 63 | - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and |
| | 64 | to do even more consistency checks on the files. |
