Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.4:
+Changes since 2.6.7:
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
- config file.
-
- - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
- permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+ - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
+ wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
+ is in effect.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - 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 "\\".
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
+ easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
+ a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
+ actions to a file (which is only supported by a daemon at present).
