-rsync changes since last release
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
-
- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
-
- * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
- destination field.
-
- * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
- rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
- unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
- (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
- rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
-
- * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
- Middleton)
-
- * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
- and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
-
- * Set the default value of --modify-window to 2 on Cygwin. (Max Bowsher)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
- in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
- timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+ - 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.
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ - 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.
- * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
- contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
- list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
- processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
- an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
-
- * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
- broken. (Dave Dykstra)
-
- * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
- (Sviatoslav Sviridov)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
- when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
+ - 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:
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
