| 1 | rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | ANNOUNCEMENTS |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | NEW FEATURES |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ENHANCEMENTS |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are |
| 16 | included or excluded and why. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more |
| 19 | details. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log |
| 24 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is |
| 25 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log |
| 26 | file to get cleaned out by another process. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing |
| 29 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more |
| 30 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not |
| 31 | installed on the platform. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit |
| 34 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, |
| 39 | explain that we do it in a secure way. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the |
| 42 | local machine. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | BUG FIXES: |
| 45 | |
| 46 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. |
| 49 | |
| 50 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked |
| 51 | to transfer fail to transfer |
| 52 | |
| 53 | * Fix --cvs-exclude sigsegv bug. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Update to work with autoconf2.50 and 2.13. |
