	1	NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
	2	Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
	3	Changes since 2.6.2:
	4
	5	BUG FIXES:
	6
	7	- Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
	8	multiple source directories were specified.
	9
	10	- The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
	11	over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
	12
	13	- Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
	14	the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be
	15	terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
	16
	17	- If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
	18	no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
	19	specified. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
	20	work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
	21	don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
	22
	23	- If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
	24	is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the
	25	original file in the process).
	26
	27	- Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
	28	(rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
	29
	30	- Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
	31	items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
	32	allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
	33
	34	- Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
	35	phase.
	36
	37	- When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
	38	the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
	39
	40	- When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
	41	for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
	42	"vanished".
	43
	44	- Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
	45	refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
	46	to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send
	47	the message).
	48
	49	- Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to
	50	the user in addition to being logged (some messages are intended to
	51	be daemon-only).
	52
	53	- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
	54	batch-processing options.
	55
	56	ENHANCEMENTS:
	57
	58	- Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
	59	onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
	60	as matching a normal directory from the sender.
	61
	62	- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
	63
	64	- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
	65	and documented all these options in the man page.
	66
	67	- If the daemon get an address-in-use error starting up, we sometimes
	68	suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 to work around their
	69	buggy socket implementation.
	70
	71	- Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
	72	bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
	73	values.
	74
	75	- The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
	76	SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.
	77
	78	- Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
	79
	80	INTERNAL:
	81
	82	- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
	83	and made the code easier to maintain.
	84
	85	- Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
	86	rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
	87
	88	- If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
	89	IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
	90	handles after we accept a connecton (we used to close just one of
	91	them).
	92
	93	BUILD CHANGES:
	94
	95	- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
	96	including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
	97
	98	- If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
	99	proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be
	100	updated).
	101
	102	- The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
	103	target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
	104	have $STRIP set in the environment.
	105
	106	DEVELOPER RELATED:
	107
	108	- The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
	109
	110	- Some new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
	111	ones were removed.
