-rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.2:
- ANNOUNCEMENTS
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
+ - Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
+ multiple source directories were specified.
- NEW FEATURES
+ - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
+ over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
- * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
+ - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
+ the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be
+ terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
- * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
+ - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
+ no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
+ specified. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
+ work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
+ don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
- ENHANCEMENTS
+ - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
+ (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
- * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
- included or excluded and why.
+ - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
+ items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
+ allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
- * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
- details.
+ - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
+ the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
- * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
+ - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
+ batch-processing options.
- * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
- file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
- open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
- file to get cleaned out by another process.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
- options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
- consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
- installed on the platform.
+ - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
- * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
- files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
+ - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
+ and documented all these options in the man page.
- * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
+ - Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
+ bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
+ values.
- * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
- explain that we do it in a secure way.
+ - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
- * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
- local machine.
+ INTERNAL:
- BUG FIXES:
+ - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
+ and made the code easier to maintain.
+
+ - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
+ rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
+ - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
+ including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
- * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
+ - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
+ proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to be updated).
- * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
- to transfer fail to transfer
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Fix --cvs-exclude sigsegv bug.
+ - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
- * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison.
