-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * "make install-strip" works. (Greg Louis)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
- otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
+ - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+ we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+ hostspec as a filename.
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
- BUG FIXES:
+ - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+ preservation of attributes on symlinks.
- * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
- slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
- current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+ - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
+ and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
+ per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+ transfer.
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
+ INTERNAL:
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+ MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+ - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+ with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
