+Changes since 2.6.5:
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.
+ - 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:
- - 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, "").
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
BUILD CHANGES:
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - 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).
+
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
