Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
Changes since 3.0.0:
+ NOTABLE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR:
+
+ - 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. a changed symlink referent, a
+ new device number, etc.).
+
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
- Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
+ - Fixed a bug with --iconv's handling of files that cannot be converted:
+ a failed name can no longer cause a transfer failure.
+
- 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 th --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
+ - 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 file son the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
+ 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).
+ can skip a file in a set of hard-linked files (i.e. --ignore-existing,
+ --append, etc.), without skipping all the files in the set.
+
+ - Avoid setting the modify time on a directory that already has the right
+ modify time set. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
+
+ - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the
+ exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as
+ if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the
+ user's args), and avoids sending the user the filter-action messages
+ for these non-user-initiated rules.
- - 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 some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory
+ handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy.
+
+ - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling.
- 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.
+ because the options conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled,
+ it automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
+
+ - Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could
+ make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path.
- 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 inclusion of per-dir merge files from implied dirs.
+
- 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:
+ - Added the --old-dirs (--old-d) option to make it easier for a user to
+ ask for file-listings with older rsync versions (this is easier than
+ having to type "-r --exclude='/*/*'" manually).
+
- 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.
- Improved the documentation of the --append option.
+ - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon
+ parameters.
+
INTERNAL:
- Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
not have caused problems, though.)
+ - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the
+ "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory
+ churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned
+ args.
+
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
- The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
- included popt should be used or not.
+ included popt code should be used or not.
+
+ - Fixed two testsuite glitches: avoid a failure if someone's "cd" command
+ outputs the current directory when cd-ing to a relative path, and made
+ the itemized test query how rsync was built to determine if it should
+ expect hard-linked symlinks or not.
+
+ - Updated the testsuite to verify that various bug fixes remain fixed.
+
+ - The RPM spec file was updated to have: (1) comments for how to use the
+ rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file.
- Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
structure.
