-rsync release candidate 2.5.5rc1 (26 March 2002)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
+ not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
+ rsyncd.conf file.
+
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+
+ - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
+ basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+ is in effect.
+
+ - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
+ processing.
+
+ - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
+ addition to its use in daemon mode).
+
+ - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
+ processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
+ newline.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
- otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
+ - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
+ characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
+ using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
+ - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include
+ some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
+ password mismatch, etc.).
+ - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
+ it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
+ really did expect the socket to close).
- BUG FIXES:
+ INTERNAL:
- * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
- slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
- current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+ - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
+ refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
- * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
- trailing slashes.

- (Martin Pool)
+ - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
+ the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
+ presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
