+NEWS for rsync 3.0.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
- it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
+ - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
+ crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
+ Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
- - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
- option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
- matching items.
+ - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
+ options specified.
- - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
- a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
- being able to get the exit status from the script.
+ - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
+ recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
+ "redo" files properly (and without hanging).
- - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
- filter rules.
+ - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
- - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it
- would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync.
+ - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
+ destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
+ when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
- files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
- copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
+ - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside of a --files-from
+ file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory.
- - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
- and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
- option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
+ - Fixed a bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories in when
+ incremental recursion is active.
- - Make sure that directory permissions of a newly-created destination
- directory are handled right when --perms is left off.
+ - Fixed a potential (hard to trigger) hang when using --remove-source-files.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking
- to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly
- (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory.
- See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions.
-
- - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a
- 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is
- the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible
- with the new incremental recursion mode.
-
- - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
- delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
- delete pass.
-
- - Added the --acls (-A) option to preserve Access Control Lists. This is
- an improved version of the prior patch that was available. (If you need
- to have backward compatibility with old, patched versions, the new
- acls.diff patch that will add that.)
-
- - Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserver extended attributes. This is
- an improved version of the prior patch that was available. (If you need
- to have backward compatibility with old, patched versions, the new
- xattrs.diff patch that will add that.)
-
- - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
- receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
- can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
- older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0
- value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
-
- - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
- receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use
- of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
- convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces
- the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin
- (rather than adding more data), and limits the in-memory storage of
- the device+inode information to just the sending side for the new
- protocol 30, or to the receiving side when speaking an older protocol
- (note that older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on
- both sides).
+ - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- INTERNAL:
+ - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
- - Rsync now supports the transfer of 64-bit timestamps (time_t values).
+ - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
+ confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
- - Fixed a build problem with older (2.x) versions of gcc.
+ - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of
+ getnameinfo().
- - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
- easier without forcing variables via casts.
-
- - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
- string-handling functions.
-
- - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
-
- - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
- compiler warning.
-
- - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
-
- - Make sure that a daemon process doesn't mind if the client was weird and
- omitted the --server option.
-
- - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Rsync now has a way of handling protocol-version changes during the
- development of a new protocol version. This exchange of sub-version
- info does not interfere with the {MIN,MAX}_PROTOCOL_VERSION checking
- in older versions (which would be the case if every minor change made
- to the protocol in CVS incremented the main PROTOCOL_VERSION value).
+ - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
+ update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
+ particular symlink idiom.
