NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.2: BUG FIXES: - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has "use chroot" enabled. - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- exclude rule. - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right errno when a function failed. - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was compared against the daemon excludes. - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid checksum struct over the wire. - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded arg's implied dirs to the transfer. - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). ENHANCEMENTS: - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in the daemon config file as "parameters". - The description of the --inplace option was improved. DEVELOPER RELATED: - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some compatibility improvements. - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to bleed-over into patches that follow.
