1 NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED)
2 Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
7 - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
8 run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
10 - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
12 - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
13 not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
15 - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
17 - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
19 - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
20 CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
23 - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
25 - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
26 that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
27 the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
28 protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
29 file) was already working.
31 - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
32 can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
33 --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
34 linked set of files, but not all of them).
36 - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
37 that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
39 - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
41 - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
43 - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
44 itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
45 and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
46 between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
47 revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
50 - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
51 longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
52 date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
53 ownership, xattrs, etc.).
55 - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
56 because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
57 automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
59 - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
60 wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
62 - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
63 rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
67 - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
68 listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
69 --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
71 - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
73 - Improved the documentation of the --append option.
77 - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
78 sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
80 - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
81 normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
82 not have caused problems, though.)
86 - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
87 unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
88 the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
90 - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
91 included popt should be used or not.
93 - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
