+Changes since 2.6.6:
BUG FIXES:
- - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
- without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
- it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
- file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged
- hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
- unchanged files).
-
- - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
- item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
+ - 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.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
- per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
-
- BUILD CHANGES:
-
- - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
- NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
- find in the /etc/group file).
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
- - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
- -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
+ - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+ preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ - 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.
