1 NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
2 Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
7 - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
8 not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
11 - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
12 permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
14 - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
15 basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
18 - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
21 - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
22 addition to its use in daemon mode).
24 - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
25 processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
30 - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
31 characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
32 using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
34 - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include
35 some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
36 password mismatch, etc.).
38 - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
39 it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
40 really did expect the socket to close).
44 - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
48 - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
50 - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
51 refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
53 - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
54 the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
55 presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
