	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 a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might
	19	cause the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to
	20	get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
	21	(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	* Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
	29	machines. (Jay Fenlason)
	30
	31	INTERNAL:
	32
	33	* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
	34	large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
	35
	36	* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
	37	some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
	38	sets. (Wayne Davison)
	39
	40	* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.

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