Commit	Line	Data
	1	NEWS for rsync 2.6.1 (UNRELEASED)
	2	Protocol: 27 (unchanged)
	3	Changes since 2.6.0:
	4
	5	ENHANCEMENTS:
	6
	7	* The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
	8	"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
	9	(Bardur Arantsson)
	10
	11	BUG FIXES:
	12
	13	* The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
	14	when the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -u was
	15	specified, and when the group of the source can't be used on
	16	the destination and -g was specified. (Wayne Davison)
	17
	18	* Fixed the caching of the full PATH/NAME strings to avoid the
	19	current name getting lost if too many other names were
	20	expanded during the processing (such as when -H was
	21	specified). (Wayne Davison)
	22
	23	* Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
	24	--partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
	25	shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
	26	the wire.
	27
	28	INTERNAL:
	29
	30	* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
	31	large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt
	32	and Wayne Davison)
	33
	34	* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
	35	some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
	36	sets. (Wayne Davison)
	37
	38	* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.
	39	(Wayne Davison)

	42	NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
	43	Protocol: 27 (changed)
	44	Changes since 2.5.7:
	45
	46	ENHANCEMENTS:
	47
	48	* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
	49	change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
	50
	51	* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
	52	Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
	53	files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
	54
	55	* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
	56	27. (J.W. Schultz)
	57
	58	* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
	59	per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
	60	provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
	61	algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
	62	checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
	63
	64	* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
	65	unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
	66
	67	* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
	68	sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
	69	file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
	70
	71	* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
	72
	73	BUG FIXES:
	74
	75	* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
	76	This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
	77	matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
	78	cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
	79	what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
	80
	81	- A pattern with a "*" no longer causes a "" to match slashes.
	82	For example, with "//foo/*", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
	83	[If your string has BOTH "" and "*" wildcards, changing the
	84	"" wildcards to "*" will provide the old behavior in all
	85	versions.]
	86
	87	- "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
	88	does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	89
	90	- A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
	91	the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
	92	just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
	93	to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	94
	95	- Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
	96	against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
	97	there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
	98	would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
	99	"/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
	100	old behavior in all versions.]
	101
	102	* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
	103	properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
	104	user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
	105
	106	* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
	107	block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
	108	Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
	109	(Craig Barratt)
	110
	111	* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
	112	mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
	113	counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
	114	file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
	115
	116	* Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
	117	multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
	118	(Wayne Davison)
	119
	120	* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
	121
	122	* Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
	123
	124	* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
	125	consistent manner.
	126
	127	* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
	128
	129	* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
	130	when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
	131	and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
	132
	133	* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
	134
	135	* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
	136	that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
	137	Wayne Davison)
	138
	139	* Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
	140	to not get backed up.
	141
	142	* When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
	143	0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
	144	backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
	145
	146	* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
	147
	148	* Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
	149	what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
	150
	151	* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
	152	using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
	153
	154	* Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
	155	special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
	156	--compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
	157	same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
	158	regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
	159
	160	* Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
	161	readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
	162	files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
	163
	164	* Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
	165	if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
	166
	167	INTERNAL:
	168
	169	* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
	170	supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
	171
	172	* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
	173
	174	* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
	175	defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
	176
	177	* Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
	178	lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
	179	Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
	180	we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
	181	(Wayne Davison)
