-NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED)
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.0:
-
- NOTABLE CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR:
-
- - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
- itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
- and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
- between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
- revised version with a new value (e.g. a changed symlink referent, a
- new device number, etc.).
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
- run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
-
- - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
- not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
+ - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
+ --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
+ destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
- - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
+ - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
+ error.
- - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
- CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
- of rounding.h fails.
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
- - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
- - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
- that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
- the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
- protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
- file) was already working.
+ - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
+ files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
- - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
- can skip a file in a set of hard-linked files (i.e. --ignore-existing,
- --append, etc.), without skipping all the files in the set.
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- - Avoid setting the modify time on a directory that already has the right
- modify time set. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
- - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the
- exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as
- if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the
- user's args).
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
- - Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory
- handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy.
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling.
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
- - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
+ a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
- - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
+ - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older
+ rsync (protocols < 30): we now use a compatible block size limit.
- - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
- longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
- date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
- ownership, xattrs, etc.).
+ - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+ (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+ checksum struct over the wire.
- - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
- because the options conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled,
- it automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
+ - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude
+ check happen in the better place in the sending code.
- - Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could
- make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path.
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
- - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
- wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
-
- - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
- rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
+ - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
+ offsets.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
- listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
- --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
-
- - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
-
- - Improved the documentation of the --append option.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
- - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon
- parameters.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
- sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
-
- - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
- normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
- not have caused problems, though.)
-
- - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the
- "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory
- churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned
- args.
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
- unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
- the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
+
+ - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the
+ listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect
+ a dot-dir arg.
- - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
- included popt code should be used or not.
+ - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory
+ from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and
+ the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get
+ rebuild without cause.
- - The RPM spec file was updated to have (1) comments for how to use the
- rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file.
+ - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities
+ (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps.
- - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
- structure.
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
