-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * "make install-strip" works. (Greg Louis)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the
- time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron
- Simpson)
+ - 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).
- BUG FIXES:
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * 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)
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ - 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).
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
