+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
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
- rsyncd.conf file.
+ - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
- permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
-
- - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
- basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
- is in effect.
-
- - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
- processing.
-
- - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
- addition to its use in daemon mode).
-
- - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
- processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
- newline.
+ - 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.
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 "\\".
+ - 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 careful to never specify
+ a 0 value to older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
INTERNAL:
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
-
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
- refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
- the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
- presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
