-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
+ not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
+ config file.
+
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+
+ - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
+ basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+ in in effect.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
- than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
- what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
- to parse the output.
+ - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
+ characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
+ using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
