1 NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (30 March 2005)
7 - When rsync deletes a directory and outputs a verbose message about
8 it, it now appends a trailing slash to the name instead of (only
9 sometimes) outputting a preceding "directory " string.
11 - The --stats output will contain file-list time-statistics if both
12 sides are 2.6.4, or if the local side is 2.6.4 and the files are
13 being pushed (since the stats come from the sending side).
14 (Requires protocol 29 for a pull.)
16 - The "%o" (operation) log-format escape now has a third value (besides
17 "send" and "recv"): "del." (with trailing dot to make it 4 chars).
18 This changes the way deletions are logged in the daemon's log file.
20 - When the --log-format option is combined with --verbose, rsync now
21 avoids outputting the name of the file twice in most circumstances.
22 As long as the --log-format item does not refer to any post-transfer
23 items (such as %b or %c), the --log-format message is output prior to
24 the transfer, so --verbose is now the equivalent of a --log-format of
25 '%n%L' (which outputs the name and any link info). If the log output
26 must occur after the transfer to be complete, the only time the name
27 is also output prior to the transfer is when --progress was specified
28 (so that the name will precede the progress stats, and the full
29 --log-format output will come after).
31 - Non-printable characters in filenames are replaced with a '?' to
32 avoid corrupting the screen or generating empty lines in the output.
36 - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
37 was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
40 - The combination of --verbose and --dry-run now mentions the full list
41 of changes that would be output without --dry-run.
43 - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
44 that already exists in the --backup-dir.
46 - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin) needed
47 setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
48 mkstemp(). (Fix derived from the cygwin's 2.6.3 rsync package.)
50 - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
51 the sender, and the file-list is large.
53 - Fixed a potential protocol-corrupting bug where the generator could
54 merge a message from the receiver into the middle of a multiplexed
55 packet of data if only part of that data had been written out to the
56 socket when the message from the generator arrived.
58 - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
59 FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in some compatibility code using
60 mkfifo() and socket() when necessary.
62 - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. Also,
63 if the --max-delete limit is exceeded during a run, we now output a
64 warning about this at the end of the run and exit with a new error
67 - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
69 - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter used to erroneously affect
70 readable symlinks that pointed to a non-existent file.
72 - If the OS does not have lchown() and a chown() of a symlink will
73 affect the referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try
74 to set the user and group of a symlink.
76 - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time
77 rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete.
79 - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, where DIR is a
80 relative path, the backup code was erroneously trying to backup a
81 file that was put into the partial-dir.
83 - If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option is
84 enabled along with --inplace, rsync no longer performs a duplicate
85 backup (it used to overwrite the first backup with the failed file).
87 - One call to flush_write_file() was not being checked for an error.
89 - The --no-relative option was not being sent from the client to a
92 - If an rsync daemon specified "dont compress = ..." for a file and the
93 client tried to specify --compress, the libz code was not handling a
94 compression level of 0 properly. This could cause a transfer failure
95 if the block-size for a file was large enough (e.g. rsync might have
96 exited with an error for large files).
98 - Fixed a bug that would sometimes surface when using --compress and
99 sending a file with a block-size larger than 64K (either manually
100 specified, or computed due to the file being really large). Prior
101 versions of rsync would sometimes fail to decompress the data
102 properly, and thus the transferred file would fail its verification.
104 - If a daemon can't open the specified log file (i.e. syslog is not
105 being used), die without crashing. We also output an error about
106 the failure on stderr (which will only be seen if --no-detach was
107 specified) and exit with a new error code (6).
109 - A local transfer no longer duplicates all its include/exclude options
110 (since the forked process already has a copy of the exclude list,
111 there's no need to send them a set of duplicates).
113 - When --progress is specified, the output of items that the generator
114 is creating (e.g. dirs, symlinks) is now integrated into the progress
115 output without overlapping it. (Requires protocol 29.)
117 - When --timeout is specified, lulls that occur in the transfer while
118 the generator is doing work that does not generate socket traffic
119 (looking for changed files, deleting files, doing directory-time
120 touch-ups, etc.) will cause a new keep-alive packet to be sent that
121 should keep the transfer going as long as the generator continues to
122 make progress. (Requires protocol 29.)
124 - The stat size of a device is not added to the total file size of the
125 items in the transfer (the size might be undefined on some OSes).
127 - Fixed a problem with refused-option messages sometimes not making it
128 back to the client side when a remote --files-from was in effect and
129 the daemon was the receiver.
131 - The --compare-dest option was not updating a file that differred in
132 (the preserved) attributes from the version in the compare-dest DIR.
134 - When rsync is copying files into a write-protected directory, fixed
135 the change-report output for the directory so that we don't report
136 an identical directory as changed.
140 - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
141 use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
143 - Added the --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files
144 from the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the
145 transfer is being processed. This makes it more efficient than the
146 default, before-the-transfer behavior, which is now also available as
147 --delete-before (and is still the default --delete-WHEN option that
148 will be chosen if --delete or --delete-excluded is specified without
149 a --delete-WHEN choice). All the --del* options infer --delete, so
150 an rsync daemon that refuses "delete" will still refuse to allow any
151 file-deleting options (including the new --remove-sent-files option).
153 - All the --delete-WHEN options are now more memory efficient:
154 Previously an duplicate set of file-list objects was created on the
155 receiving side for the entire destination hierarchy. The new
156 algorithm only creates one directory of objects at a time (for files
157 inside the transfer).
159 - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
160 that it locally copies identical files instead of hard-linking them.
162 - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
163 --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
164 patches dir and enhanced.) (Requires protocol 29.)
166 - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
168 - The daemon-mode options are now separated from the normal rsync
169 options so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it
170 impossible to start a daemon that has improper default option values
171 (which could cause problems when a client connects, such as hanging
174 - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
175 to specify both a default value for the daemon side and a value
176 that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
178 - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
179 the patches dir.) Also added "address". The command-line options
180 take precedence over a config-file option, as expected.
182 - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
183 file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
186 - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
187 --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options. (Requires protocol
190 - Added the --dirs (-d) option for an easier way to copy directories
193 - Added the --list-only option, which is mainly a way for the client to
194 put the server into listing mode without needing to resort to any
195 internal option kluges (e.g. the age-old use of "-r --exclude="/*/*"
196 for a non-recursive listing). This option is used automatically
197 (behind the scenes) when a modern rsync speaks to a modern daemon,
198 but may also be specified manually if you want to force the use of
199 the --list-only option over a remote-shell connection.
201 - Added the --omit-dir-times (-O) option, which will avoid updating
202 the modified time for directories when --times was specified. This
203 option will avoid an extra pass through the file-list at the end of
204 the transfer (to tweak all the directory times), which may provide
205 an appreciable speedup for a really large transfer. (Promoted from
208 - Added the --filter (-f) option and its helper option, -F. Filter
209 rules are an extension to the existing include/exclude handling
210 that also supports nested filter files as well as per-directory
211 filter files (like .cvsignore, but with full filter-rule parsing).
212 This new option was chosen in order to ensure that all existing
213 include/exclude processing remained 100% compatible with older
214 versions. Protocol 29 is needed for full filter-rule support, but
215 backward-compatible rules work with earlier protocol versions.
216 (Promoted from the patches dir and enhanced.)
218 - Added the --delay-updates option that puts all updated files into
219 a temporary directory (by default ".~tmp~", but settable via the
220 --partial-dir=DIR option) until the end of the transfer. This
221 makes the updates a little more atomic for a large transfer.
223 - If rsync is put into the background, any output from --progress is
226 - Documented the "max verbosity" setting for rsyncd.conf. (This
227 setting was added a couple releases ago, but left undocumented.)
229 - The sender and the generator now double-check the file-list index
230 they are given, and refuse to try to do a file transfer on a
231 non-file index (since that would indicate that something had gone
234 - Added the --itemize-changes (-i) option, which is a way to output a
235 more detailed list of what files changed and in what way. The effect
236 is the same as specifying a --log-format of "%i %n%L" (see both the
237 rsync and rsyncd.conf manpages). Works with --dry-run too.
239 - Added the --fuzzy (-y) option, which attempts to find a basis file
240 for a file that is being created from scratch. The current algorithm
241 only looks in the destination directory for the created file, but it
242 does attempt to find a match based on size/mod-time (in case the file
243 was renamed with no other changes) as well as based on a fuzzy
244 name-matching algorithm. This option requires protocol 29 because it
245 needs the new file-sorting order. (Promoted from patches dir and
246 enhanced.) (Requires protocol 29.)
248 - Added the --remove-sent-files option, which lets you move files
251 - The hostname in HOST:PATH or HOST::PATH may now be an IPv6 literal
252 enclosed in '[' and ']' (e.g. "[::1]"). (We already allowed IPv6
253 literals in the rsync://HOST:PORT/PATH format.)
255 - When rsync recurses to build the file list, it no longer keeps open
256 one or more directory handles from the dir's parent dirs.
258 - When building under windows, the default for --daemon is now to
259 avoid detaching, requiring the new --detach option to force rsync
262 - The --dry-run option can now be combined with either --write-batch or
263 --read-batch, allowing you to run a do-nothing test command to see
264 what would happen without --dry-run.
266 - The daemon's "read only" config item now sets an internal read_only
267 variable that makes extra sure that no write/delete calls on the
268 read-only side can succeed.
270 - The log-format % escapes can now have a numeric field width in
271 between the % and the escape letter (e.g. "%-40n %08p").
273 - Improved the option descriptions in the --help text.
277 - Added atomic-rsync to the support dir: a perl script that will
278 transfer some files using rsync, and then move the updated files into
279 place all at once at the end of the transfer. Only works when
280 pulling, and uses --link-dest and a parallel hierarchy of files to
283 - Added mnt-excl to the support dir: a perl script that takes the
284 /proc/mounts file and translates it into a set of excludes that will
285 exclude all mount points (even mapped mounts to the same disk). The
286 excludes are made relative to the specified source dir and properly
289 - Added savetransfer.c to the support dir: a C program that can make
290 a copy of all the data that flows over the wire. This lets you test
291 for data corruption (by saving the data on both the sending side and
292 the receiving side) and provides one way to debug a protocol error.
294 - Added rrsync to the support dir: this is an updated version of Joe
295 Smith's restricted rsync perl script. This helps to ensure that only
296 certain rsync commands can be run by an ssh invocation.
300 - Added better checking of the checksum-header values that come over
303 - Merged a variety of file-deleting functions into a single function so
304 that it is easier to maintain.
306 - Improved the type of some variables (particularly blocksize vars) for
307 consistency and proper size.
309 - Got rid of the uint64 type (which we didn't need).
311 - Use a slightly more compatible set of core #include directives.
313 - Defined int32 in a way that ensures that the build dies if we can't
314 find a variable with at least 32 bits.
316 PROTOCOL DIFFERENCES FOR VERSION 29:
318 - A 16-bit flag-word is transmitted after every file-list index. This
319 indicates what is changing between the sender and the receiver. The
320 generator now transmits an index and a flag-word to indicate when
321 dirs and symlinks have changed (instead of producing a message),
322 which makes the outputting of the information more consistent and
323 less prone to screen corruption (because the local receiver/sender is
324 now outputting all the file-change info messages).
326 - If a file is being hard-linked, the ITEM_XNAME_FOLLOWS bit is enabled
327 in the flag-word and the name of the file that was linked immediately
328 follows in vstring format (see below).
330 - If a file is being transferred with an alternate-basis file, the
331 ITEM_BASIS_TYPE_FOLLOWS bit is enabled in the flag-word and a single
332 byte follows, indicating what type of basis file was chosen. If that
333 indicates that a fuzzy-match was selected, the ITEM_XNAME_FOLLOWS bit
334 is set in the flag-word and the name of the match in vstring format
335 follows the basis byte. A vstring is a variable length string that
336 has its size written prior to the string, and no terminating null.
337 If the string is from 1-127 bytes, the length is a single byte. If
338 it is from 128-32767 bytes, the length is written as ((len >> 8) |
339 0x80) followed by (len % 0x100).
341 - The sending of exclude names is done using filter-rule syntax. This
342 means that all names have a prefixed rule indicator, even excludes
343 (which used to be sent as a bare pattern, when possible). The -C
344 option will include the per-dir .cvsignore merge file in the list of
345 filter rules so it is positioned correctly (unlike in some older
348 - Rsync sorts the filename list in a different way: it sorts the subdir
349 names after the non-subdir names for each dir's contents, and it
350 always puts a dir's contents immediately after the dir's name in the
351 list. (Previously an item named "foo.txt" would sort in between
352 directory "foo/" and "foo/bar".)
354 - When talking to a protocol 29 rsync daemon, a list-only request
355 is able to note this before the options are sent over the wire and
356 the new --list-only option is included in the options.
358 - When the --stats bytes are sent over the wire (or stored in a batch),
359 they now include two elapsed-time values: one for how long it took to
360 build the file-list, and one for how long it took to send it over the
361 wire (each expressed in thousandths of a second).
363 - When --delete-excluded is specified with some filter rules (AKA
364 excludes), a client sender will now initiate a send of the rules to
365 the receiver (older protocols used to omit the sending of excludes in
366 this situation since there were no receiver-specific rules that
367 survived --delete-excluded back then). Note that, as with all the
368 filter-list sending, only items that are significant to the other
369 side will actually be sent over the wire, so the filter-rule list
370 that is sent in this scenario is often empty.
372 - An index equal to the file-list count is sent as a keep-alive packet
373 from the generator to the sender, which then forwards it on to the
374 receiver. This normally invalid index is only a valid keep-alive
375 packet if the 16-bit flag-word that follows it contains a single bit
376 (ITEM_IS_NEW, which is normally an illegal flag to appear alone).
378 - A protocol-29 batch file includes a bit for the setting of the --dirs
379 option and for the setting of the --compress option. Also, the shell
380 script created by --write-batch will use the --filter option instead
381 of --exclude-from to capture any filter rules.
385 - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
387 - Improved configure to better handle cross-compiling.
388 NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (30 Sep 2004)
389 Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
394 - A bug in the sanitize_path routine (which affects a non-chrooted
395 rsync daemon) could allow a user to craft a pathname that would get
396 transformed into an absolute path for certain options (but not for
397 file-transfer names). If you're running an rsync daemon with chroot
398 disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the user privs you run
399 rsync under is anything above "nobody".
401 OUTPUT CHANGES (ATTN: those using a script to parse the verbose output):
403 - Please note that the 2-line footer (output when verbose) now uses the
404 term "sent" instead of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If
405 you are not parsing the numeric values out of this footer, a script
406 would be better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the
407 indicator that the verbose output is over.
409 - The output from the --stats option was similarly affected to change
410 "written" to "sent" and "read" to "received".
412 - Rsync ensures that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned
413 with each newline transformed into a question mark (which prevents a
414 filename from causing an empty line to be output).
416 - The "backed up ..." message that is output when at least 2 --verbose
417 options are specified is now the same both with and without the
422 - Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
423 multiple source directories were specified.
425 - Fixed a 32-bit truncation of the file length when generating the
428 - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
429 over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
431 - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
432 the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be
433 terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
435 - If a file has a read error on the sending side or the reconstructed
436 data doesn't match the expected checksum (perhaps due to the basis
437 file changing during the transfer), the receiver will no longer
438 retain the resulting file unless the --partial option was specified.
439 (Note: for the read-error detection to work, neither side can be
440 older than 2.6.3 -- older receivers will always retain the file, and
441 older senders don't tell the receiver that the file had a read
444 - If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
445 is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (it used to
446 overwrite the original file in the backup area).
448 - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
449 items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
450 allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
452 - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
455 - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
456 the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
458 - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
459 for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
462 - The --copy-links (-L) option no longer has the side-effect of telling
463 the receiving side to follow symlinks. See the --keep-dirlinks
464 option (mentioned below) for a way to specify that behavior.
466 - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
467 refused options) are now successfully transferred back to the client
468 (the server used to fail to send the message because the socket
469 wasn't in the right state for the message to get through).
471 - Most transfer errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now
472 returned to the user in addition to being logged (some messages are
473 intended to be daemon-only and are not affected by this).
475 - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
476 batch-processing options.
478 - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
479 implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
480 that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
481 implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
482 suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
485 - When the remote rsync dies, make a better effort to recover any error
486 messages it may have sent before dying (the local rsync used to just
487 die with a socket-write error).
489 - When using --delete and a --backup-dir that contains files that are
490 hard-linked to their destination equivalents, rsync now makes sure
491 that removed files really get removed (avoids a really weird rename()
494 - Avoid a bogus run-time complaint about a lack of 64-bit integers when
495 the int64 type is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
497 - Added a configure check for open64() without mkstemp64() so that we
498 can avoid using mkstemp() when such a combination is encountered.
499 This bypasses a problem writing out large temp files on OSes such as
502 - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
503 (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
505 - When --dry-run (-n) is used and the destination directory does not
506 exist, rsync now produces a correct report of files that would be
507 sent instead of dying with a chdir() error.
509 - Fixed a bug that could cause a slow-to-connect rsync daemon to die
510 with an error instead of waiting for the connection to finish.
512 - Fixed an ssh interaction that could cause output to be lost when the
513 user chose to combine the output of rsync's stdout and stderr (e.g.
518 - Added the --partial-dir=DIR option that lets you specify where to
519 (temporarily) put a partially transferred file (instead of over-
520 writing the destination file). E.g. --partial-dir=.rsync-partial
521 Also added support for the RSYNC_PARTIAL_DIR environment variable
522 that, when found, transforms a regular --partial option (such as
523 the convenient -P option) into one that also specifies a directory.
525 - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
526 onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
527 as matching a normal directory from the sender.
529 - Added the --inplace option that tells rsync to write each destination
530 file without using a temporary file. The matching of existing data
531 in the destination file can be severely limited by this, but there
532 are also cases where this is more efficient (such as appending data).
533 Use only when needed (see the man page for more details).
535 - Added the "write only" option for the daemon's config file.
537 - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
538 and documented all these options in the man page.
540 - Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
541 bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
544 - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
545 SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.
547 - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
549 - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
550 fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
551 sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
552 systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
553 to maintain for the future). The new code generates just one data
554 file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch on
555 stdin via a remote shell. Also, the old requirement of forcing the
556 same fixed checksum-seed for all batch processing has been removed.
558 - If an rsync daemon has a module set with "list = no" (which hides its
559 presence in the list of available modules), a user that fails to
560 authenticate gets the same "unknown module" error that they would get
561 if the module were actually unknown (while still logging the real
562 error to the daemon's log file). This prevents fishing for module
565 - The daemon's "refuse options" config item now allows you to match
566 option names using wildcards and/or the single-letter option names.
568 - Each transferred file now gets its permissions and modified-time
569 updated before the temp-file gets moved into place. Previously, the
570 finished file would have a very brief window where its permissions
571 disallowed all group and world access.
573 - Added the ability to parse a literal IPv6 address in an "rsync:" URL
574 (e.g. rsync://[2001:638:500:101::21]:873/module/dir).
576 - The daemon's wildcard expanding code can now handle more than 1000
577 filenames (it's now limited by memory instead of having a hard-wired
582 - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
583 and made the code easier to maintain.
585 - Improved the argv-overflow checking for a remote command that has a
588 - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling rprintf()
589 with strerror() as an arg.
591 - If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
592 IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
593 handles after we accept a connection (we used to close just one of
596 - Optimized the handling of larger block sizes (rsync used to slow to a
597 crawl if the block size got too large).
599 - Optimized away a loop in hash_search().
601 - Some improvements to the sanitize_path() and clean_fname() functions
602 makes them more efficient and produce better results (while still
603 being compatible with the file-name cleaning that gets done on both
604 sides when sending the file-list).
606 - Got rid of alloc_sanitize_path() after adding a destination-buffer
607 arg to sanitize_path() made it possible to put all the former's
608 functionality into the latter.
610 - The file-list that is output when at least 4 verbose options are
611 specified reports the uid value on the sender even when rsync is
612 not running as root (since we might be sending to a root receiver).
616 - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
617 including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
619 - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
620 proto.h file is left untouched (its time-stamp used to always be
623 - The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
624 target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
625 have $STRIP already set in the environment.
627 - Fixed a build problem when SUPPORT_HARD_LINKS isn't defined.
629 - When cross-compiling, the gettimeofday() function is now assumed to
630 be a modern version that takes two-args (since we can't test it).
634 - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit and a few
637 - Some new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
641 NEWS for rsync 2.6.2 (30 Apr 2004)
642 Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
647 - Fixed a major bug in the sorting of the filenames when --relative
648 is used for some sources (just sources such as "/" and "/*" were
649 affected). This fix ensures that we ask for the right file-list
650 item when requesting changes from the sender.
652 - Rsync now checks the return value of the close() function to
653 better report disk-full problems on an NFS file system.
655 - Restored the old daemon-server behavior of logging error messages
656 rather than returning them to the user. (A better long-term fix
657 will be sought in the future.)
659 - An obscure uninitialized-variable bug was fixed in the uid/gid
660 code. (This bug probably had no ill effects.)
664 - Got rid of the configure check for sys/sysctl.h (it wasn't used
665 and was causing a problem on some systems). Also improved the
666 broken-largefile-locking test to try to avoid failure due to an
669 - Fixed a compile problem on systems that don't define
672 - Fixed a compile problem in the popt source for compilers that
673 don't support __attribute__.
677 - Improved the testsuite's "merge" test to work on OSF1.
679 - Two new diffs were added to the patches dir.
682 NEWS for rsync 2.6.1 (26 Apr 2004)
683 Protocol: 28 (changed)
688 - Paths sent to an rsync daemon are more thoroughly sanitized when
689 chroot is not used. If you're running a non-read-only rsync
690 daemon with chroot disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the
691 user privs you run rsync under is anything above "nobody".
695 - Lower memory use, more optimal transfer of data over the socket,
696 and lower CPU usage (see the INTERNAL section for details).
698 - The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
699 "USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
702 - The --progress output now mentions how far along in the transfer
703 we are, including both a count of files transferred and a
704 percentage of the total file-count that we've processed. It also
705 shows better current-rate-of-transfer and remaining-transfer-time
708 - Documentation changes now attempt to describe some often mis-
709 understood features more clearly.
713 - When -x (--one-file-system) is combined with -L (--copy-links) or
714 --copy-unsafe-links, no symlinked files are skipped, even if the
715 referent file is on a different filesystem.
717 - The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user when
718 (1) the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -o was
719 specified, or (2) when the group of the source can't be used on
720 the destination and -g was specified.
722 - Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might cause
723 the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to get
724 overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
726 - We now reset the "new data has been sent" flag at the start of
727 each file we send. This makes sure that an interrupted transfer
728 with the --partial option set doesn't keep a shorter temp file
729 than the current basis file when no new data has been transfered
730 over the wire for that file.
732 - Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian machines.
735 - When using --cvs-exclude, the exclude items we get from a
736 per-directory's .cvsignore file once again only affect that one
737 directory (not all following directories too). The items are also
738 now properly word-split and parsed without any +/- prefix parsing.
740 - When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER part
741 can now contain an '@', if needed (i.e. the last '@' is used to
742 find the HOST, not the first).
744 - Fixed some bugs in the handling of group IDs for non-root users:
745 (1) It properly handles a group that the sender didn't have a name
746 for (it would previously skip changing the group on any files in
747 that group). (2) If --numeric-ids is used, rsync no longer
748 attempts to set groups that the user doesn't have the permission
751 - Fixed the "refuse options" setting in the rsyncd.conf file.
753 - Improved the -x (--one-file-system) flag's handling of any mount-
754 point directories we encounter. It is both more optimal (in that
755 it no longer does a useless scan of the contents of the mount-
756 point dirs) and also fixes a bug where a remapped mount of the
757 original filesystem could get discovered in a subdir we should be
760 - Rsync no longer discards a double-slash at the start of a filename
761 when trying to open the file. It also no longer constructs names
762 that start with a double slash (unless the user supplied them).
764 - Path-specifying options to a daemon should now work the same with
765 or without chroot turned on. Previously, such a option (such as
766 --link-dest) would get its absolute path munged into a relative
767 one if chroot was not on, making that setting fairly useless.
768 Rsync now transforms the path into one that is based on the
769 module's base dir when chroot is not enabled.
771 - Fixed a compatibility problem interacting with older rsync
772 versions that might send us an empty --suffix value without
773 telling us that --backup-dir was specified.
775 - The "hosts allow" option for a daemon-over-remote-shell process
776 now has improved support for IPv6 addresses and a fix for systems
777 that have a length field in their socket structs.
779 - Fixed the ability to request an empty backup --suffix when sending
780 files to an rsync daemon.
784 - Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty large
785 speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
787 - Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made some
788 significant reductions in user-CPU time for large file sets.
790 - Some cleanup of the variable types make the code more consistent.
792 - Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
795 - Implemented a new algorithm for hard-link handling that speeds up
796 the code significantly. (J.W. Schultz and Wayne Davison)
798 - The --hard-link option now uses the first existing file in the
799 group of linked files as the basis for the transfer. This
800 prevents the sub-optimal transfer of a file's data when a new
801 hardlink is added on the sending side and it sorts alphabetically
802 earlier in the list than the files that are already present on the
805 - Dropped support for protocol versions less than 20 (2.3.0 released
806 15 Mar 1999) and activated warnings for protocols less than 25
807 (2.5.0 released 23 Aug 2001). (Wayne Davison and J.W. Schultz,
810 - More optimal data transmission for --hard-links (protocol 28).
812 - More optimal data transmission for --checksum (protocol 28).
814 - Less memory is used when --checksum is specified.
816 - Less memory is used in the file list (a per-file savings).
818 - The generator is now better about not modifying the file list
819 during the transfer in order to avoid a copy-on-write memory
820 bifurcation (on systems where fork() uses shared memory).
821 Previously, rsync's shared memory would slowly become unshared,
822 resulting in real memory usage nearly doubling on the receiving
823 side by the end of the transfer. Now, as long as permissions
824 are being preserved, the shared memory should remain that way
825 for the entire transfer.
827 - Changed hardlink info and file_struct + strings to use allocation
828 pools. This reduces memory use for large file-sets and permits
829 freeing memory to the OS. (J.W. Schultz)
831 - The 2 pipes used between the receiver and generator processes
832 (which are forked on the same machine) were reduced to 1 pipe and
833 the protocol improved so that (1) it is now impossible to have the
834 "redo" pipe fill up and hang rsync, and (2) trailing messages from
835 the receiver don't get lost on their way through the generator
836 over to the sender (which mainly affected hard-link messages and
837 verbose --stats output).
839 - Improved the internal uid/gid code to be more portable and a
840 little more optimized.
842 - The device numbers sent when using --devices are now sent as
843 separate major/minor values with 32-bit accuracy (protocol 28).
844 Previously, the copied devices were sent as a single 32-bit
845 number. This will make inter-operation of 64-bit binaries more
846 compatible with their 32-bit brethren (with both ends of the
847 connection are using protocol 28). Note that optimizations in the
848 binary protocol for sending the device numbers often results in
849 fewer bytes being used than before, even though more precision is
852 - Some cleanup of the exclude/include structures and its code made
853 things clearer (internally), simpler, and more efficient.
855 - The reading & writing of the file-list in batch-mode is now
856 handled by the same code that sends & receives the list over the
857 wire. This makes it much easier to maintain. (Note that the
858 batch code is still considered to be experimental.)
862 - The configure script now accepts --with-rsyncd-conf=PATH to
863 override the default value of the /etc/rsyncd.conf file.
865 - Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
867 - Fixed compilation problem on Tru64 Unix (having to do with
868 sockaddr.sa_len and sockaddr.sin_len).
872 - Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
874 - Added a couple extra diffs in the "patches" dir, removed the ones
875 that got applied, and rebuilt the rest.
878 NEWS for rsync 2.6.0 (1 Jan 2004)
879 Protocol: 27 (changed)
884 * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
885 change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
887 * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
888 Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
889 files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
891 * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
894 * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The
895 per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm
896 provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync
897 algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
898 checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
900 * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
901 unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
903 * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
904 sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
905 file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
907 * Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
911 * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
912 This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
913 matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
914 cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
915 what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
917 - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
918 For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
919 [If your string has BOTH "*" and "**" wildcards, changing the
920 "*" wildcards to "**" will provide the old behavior in all
923 - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
924 does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
926 - A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
927 the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
928 just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
929 to get the old behavior in all versions.]
931 - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
932 against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
933 there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
934 would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
935 "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
936 old behavior in all versions.]
938 * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
939 properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
940 user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
942 * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
943 block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
944 Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
947 * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
948 mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
949 counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
950 file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
952 * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
953 multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
956 * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
958 * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
960 * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
963 * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
965 * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
966 when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
967 and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
969 * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
971 * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
972 that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
975 * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
976 to not get backed up.
978 * When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
979 0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
980 backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
982 * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
984 * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
985 what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
987 * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
988 using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
990 * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
991 special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
992 --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
993 same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
994 regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
996 * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
997 readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
998 files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
1000 * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
1001 if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
1005 * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
1006 supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
1008 * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
1010 * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
1011 defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
1013 * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
1014 lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
1015 Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
1016 we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).

1138 a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb,
1139 similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy.

1200 and resulted in the wrong data being copied.

1203 "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.

1206 on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".

1209 unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)

1223 to parse the output.

1250 * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
1251 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
1253 * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
1255 * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
1259 * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
1262 * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
1265 * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
1266 visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
1267 rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
1268 file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
1270 * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
1271 but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
1273 * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
1274 Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
1277 NEWS for rsync 2.5.1 (3 Jan 2002)
1278 Protocol: 25 (unchanged)
1279 Changes since 2.5.0:
1283 * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul
1286 * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
1287 (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
1290 * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra)
1292 * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai)
1294 * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt)
1296 * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward
1299 * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik)
1303 * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
1304 multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
1307 * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
1308 useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
1309 debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
1311 * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
1314 NEWS for rsync 2.5.0 (30 Nov 2001)
1315 Protocol: 25 (changed)
1316 Changes since 2.4.6:
1320 * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
1324 * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
1326 * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
1328 * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
1329 sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
1330 Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
1332 * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
1333 including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also
1334 includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the
1335 Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH
1336 portability project, and OpenBSD.
1340 * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
1341 included or excluded and why.
1343 * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
1346 * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
1348 * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
1349 file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
1350 open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
1351 file to get cleaned out by another process.
1353 * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
1354 options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
1355 consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
1356 installed on the platform.
1358 * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
1359 files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
1361 * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
1363 * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
1364 explain that we do it in a secure way.
1366 * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
1371 * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
1373 * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
1375 * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
1377 * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
1378 to transfer fail to transfer.
1380 * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
1381 overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
1382 ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
1386 * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
1388 * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
1389 scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
