+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a really old bug that caused --checksum (-c) to checksum all the
- files during the delete scan!
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
- permissions without recreating the file.
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
- - 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.
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
- - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
- permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
- the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
- algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
- - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
- fails.
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
- - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- - If the generator gets a stat() error on a file, output it (this used to
- require at least -vv for the error to be seen).
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
- - If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle
- the exit status properly and generate a better error.
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
- 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).
-
- - Added the --min-size=SIZE option to exclude small files from the
- transfer.
-
- - Added the --compress-level option to allow you to set how aggressive
- rsync's compression should be (the option implies --compress).
-
- - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size.
-
- - 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.
-
- - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
- the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
- should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
- rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
- replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
- dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+ - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+ (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+ checksum struct over the wire.
- - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
- unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
- "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
- file ownership that is implied by -a.
+ - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
- - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions
- to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
- - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
- which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
-
- - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
- now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
-
- - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
- better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
- "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was transferred
- file #5, and we still need to check 8383 files out of 9999 total.
-
- - Some minor documentation improvements.
-
- - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
- MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
-
- - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
- with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining
- the VA_COPY macro.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
- - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory
- recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes.
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
- configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
- the newly patched feature.
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
