	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.
	41	(Wayne Davison)
	42
	43	* Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
	44	(J.W. Schultz)
	45
	46	* Got rid of support for protocol versions 17 and 8 (which are
	47	both over 6 years old).

	50	NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
	51	Protocol: 27 (changed)
	52	Changes since 2.5.7:
	53
	54	ENHANCEMENTS:
	55
	56	* "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
	57	change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
	58
	59	* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
	60	Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
	61	files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
	62
	63	* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
	64	27. (J.W. Schultz)
	65
	66	* Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
	67	per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
	68	provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
	69	algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
	70	checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
	71
	72	* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
	73	unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
	74
	75	* Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
	76	sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
	77	file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
	78
	79	* Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
	80
	81	BUG FIXES:
	82
	83	* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
	84	This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
	85	matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
	86	cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
	87	what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
	88
	89	- A pattern with a "*" no longer causes a "" to match slashes.
	90	For example, with "//foo/*", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
	91	[If your string has BOTH "" and "*" wildcards, changing the
	92	"" wildcards to "*" will provide the old behavior in all
	93	versions.]
	94
	95	- "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
	96	does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	97
	98	- A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
	99	the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
	100	just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
	101	to get the old behavior in all versions.]
	102
	103	- Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
	104	against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
	105	there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
	106	would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
	107	"/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
	108	old behavior in all versions.]
	109
	110	* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
	111	properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
	112	user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
	113
	114	* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
	115	block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
	116	Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
	117	(Craig Barratt)
	118
	119	* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
	120	mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
	121	counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
	122	file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
	123
	124	* Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
	125	multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
	126	(Wayne Davison)
	127
	128	* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
	129
	130	* Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
	131
	132	* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
	133	consistent manner.
	134
	135	* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
	136
	137	* Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
	138	when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
	139	and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
	140
	141	* Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
	142
	143	* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
	144	that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
	145	Wayne Davison)
	146
	147	* Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
	148	to not get backed up.
	149
	150	* When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
	151	0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
	152	backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
	153
	154	* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
	155
	156	* Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
	157	what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
	158
	159	* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
	160	using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
	161
	162	* Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
	163	special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
	164	--compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
	165	same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
	166	regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
	167
	168	* Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
	169	readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
	170	files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
	171
	172	* Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
	173	if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
	174
	175	INTERNAL:
	176
	177	* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
	178	supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
	179
	180	* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
	181
	182	* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
	183	defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
	184
	185	* Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
	186	lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
	187	Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
	188	we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
	189	(Wayne Davison)
