NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.0: BUG FIXES: - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was run without specifying a --config=FILE option. - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building of rounding.h fails. - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a file) was already working. - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard- linked set of files, but not all of them). - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device numbers). - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, ownership, xattrs, etc.). - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). ENHANCEMENTS: - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - Improved the documentation of the --append option. INTERNAL: - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should not have caused problems, though.) DEVELOPER RELATED: - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the included popt should be used or not. - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory structure.
