-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7
-Protocol: 27 (changed)
-Changes since version 2.5.6:
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
- Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
- --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
- 27. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
- The per-file checksum size is determined according
- to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
- reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
- corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
- checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
-
- * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
- unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
BUG FIXES:
- * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
- This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
- matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
- cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
- what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
-
- - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
- For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
-
- - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo).
-
- - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
- the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
- just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does.
-
- - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
- against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
- there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
- would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
- "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance).
-
- * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
- properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
- user's file args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
- block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
- Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
- (Craig Barratt)
-
- * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
- mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
- counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
- file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
-
- * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
- multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
- (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
-
- * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
-
- * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
- consistent manner.
-
- * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
-
- * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
- that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
- Wayne Davison)
-
- * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
- to not get backed up.
-
- * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
-
- * Improved the mkstemp error message to always include the directory
- info where the temp file is being created. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
- using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
- supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
- defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)

-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
-Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
-Changes since version 2.5.5:
+ - 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).
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)
-
- * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
- terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
- (Dave Dykstra)
-
- 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)
-
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
-
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
-
- * 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 the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
- dups in a row. (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 and Marc Espie)
-
- * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
- when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
-
- * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
-
- * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
-
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
+ - 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).
- * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
- means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
