1 NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (UNRELEASED)
2 Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
7 - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
8 allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
10 - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
11 of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
13 - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This
14 particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
15 be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
16 the --remove-source-files was also specified.
18 - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
19 destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
20 a non-root copy can't affect.
22 - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
23 incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
25 - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
26 the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
28 - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
32 - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
33 is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
34 user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
35 server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
39 - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
40 or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
42 - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
