	1	NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
	2	Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
	3	Changes since 2.6.4:
	4
	5	BUG FIXES:
	6
	7	- A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
	8	not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
	9	rsyncd.conf file.
	10
	11	- Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified
	12	that might have caused an infininte loop or perhaps a crash.
	13
	14	- Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
	15	permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
	16
	17	- If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
	18	basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
	19	is in effect.
	20
	21	- Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
	22	processing.
	23
	24	- Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
	25	addition to its use in daemon mode).
	26
	27	- Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
	28	processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
	29	newline.
	30
	31	- When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
	32	to it as a "file".
	33
	34	- When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
	35	generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
	36	the file by the destination filename.
	37
	38	- Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
	39	generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
	40
	41	- Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
	42	to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
	43	of the cluster.
	44
	45	ENHANCEMENTS:
	46
	47	- Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
	48	of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
	49	actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all
	50	the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
	51	are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
	52
	53	- Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
	54	characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
	55	using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
	56
	57	- Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
	58	some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
	59	password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
	60
	61	- Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
	62	it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
	63	really did expect the socket to close).
	64
	65	- If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
	66	back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
	67	silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
	68
	69	INTERNAL:
	70
	71	- Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
	72
	73	BUILD CHANGES:
	74
	75	- Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
	76	rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
	77
	78	- You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
	79
	80	- Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
	81	refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
	82
	83	- Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
	84	the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
	85	presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
