| | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED) |
| | 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
| | 3 | Changes since 2.6.6: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the |
| | 10 | permissions without recreating the file. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination, |
| | 13 | we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination |
| | 14 | hostspec as a filename. |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with |
| | 17 | permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when |
| | 18 | the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file. |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output |
| | 21 | algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir() |
| | 24 | fails. |
| | 25 | |
| | 26 | - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time. |
| | 27 | |
| | 28 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files |
| | 31 | that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new |
| | 32 | files). |
| | 33 | |
| | 34 | - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the |
| | 35 | preservation of attributes on symlinks. |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec" |
| | 38 | and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a |
| | 39 | per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode |
| | 40 | transfer. |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in |
| | 43 | the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs |
| | 44 | should start. For example, if you specify a source path of |
| | 45 | rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only |
| | 46 | replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing |
| | 47 | dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash). |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override |
| | 50 | unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka |
| | 51 | "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of |
| | 52 | file ownership that is implied by -a. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, |
| | 55 | which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | - Some minor documentation improvements. |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | INTERNAL: |
| | 60 | |
| | 61 | - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where |
| | 62 | MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit |
| | 65 | with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. |
