+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - If rsync is interrupted via a handled signal (such as SIGINT), it will
- once again clean-up its temp file from the destination dir.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - Fixed an overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --link-dest,
- --copy-dest, and --compare-dest options to a daemon without chroot: if
- the copy's destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path,
- these options now accept a safe number of parent-dir (../) references
- (since these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code
- incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
- how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy.
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
- directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
- generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should
- also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from
- the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client
- process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was
- receiving files.)
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
- - Fixed a bug where using --dry-run with a --*-dest option with a path
- relative to a directory that does not yet exist: the affected option
- gets its proper path value so that the output of the dry-run is right.
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
- - Fixed a bug in the %f logfile escape when receiving files: the
- destination path is now included in the output (e.g. you can now tell
- when a user specifies a subdir inside a module).
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- - If the receiving side fails to create a directory, it will now skip
- trying to update everything that is inside that directory.
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
- - If --link-dest is specified with --checksum but without --times, rsync
- will now allow a hard-link to be created to a matching link-dest file
- even when the file's modify-time doesn't match the server's file.
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
- - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
- chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps
- from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone
- over and over again).
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option:
- it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used
- to successfully update a destination file.
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of --delete-excluded when using a per-dir
- merge file: the merge file is now honored on the receiving side, and
- only its unqualified include/exclude commands are ignored (just as is
- done for global include/excludes).
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
- - Fixed a recent bug where --delete was not working when transferring from
- the root (/) of the filesystem with --relative enabled.
+ - 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.
- - Fixed a recent bug where an --exclude='*' could affect the root (/) of
- the filesystem with --relative enabled.
+ - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
- - When --inplace creates a file, it is now created with owner read/write
- permissions (0600) instead of no permissions at all. This avoids a
- problem continuing a transfer that was interrupted (since --inplace
- will not update a file that has no write permissions).
-
- - If either --remove-source-files or --remove-sent-files is enabled and we
- are unable to remove the source file, rsync now outputs an error.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the daemon's "incoming chmod" rule: newly-created
- directories no longer get the 'F' (file) rules applied to them.
-
- - Fixed an infinite loop bug when a filter rule was rejected due to being
- overly long.
-
- - When the server receives a --partial-dir option from the client, it no
- longer runs the client-side code that adds an assumed filter rule (since
- the client will be sending us the rules in the usual manner, and they
- may have chosen to override the auto-added rule).
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added the --log-file=FILE and --log-file-format=FORMAT options. These
- can be used to tell any rsync to output what it is doing to a log file.
- They work with a client rsync, a non-daemon server rsync (see the man
- page for instructions), and also allows the overriding of rsyncd.conf
- settings when starting a daemon.
-
- - The --log-format option was renamed to be --out-format to avoid confusing
- it with affecting the log-file output. (The old option remains as an
- alias for the new to preserve backward compatibility.)
-
- - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in
- the daemon's config file.
-
- - Added the --remove-source-files option as a replacement for the (now
- deprecated) --remove-sent-files option. This new option removes all
- non-dirs from the source directories, even if the file was already
- up-to-date. This fixes a problem where interrupting an rsync that
- was using --remove-sent-files and restarting it could leave behind
- a file that the earlier rsync synchronized, but didn't get to remove.
- (The deprecated --remove-sent-files is still understood for now, and
- still behaves in the same way as before.)
-
- - Added the option --no-motd to suppress the message-of-the-day output
- from a daemon when doing a copy. (See the manpage for a caveat.)
-
- - Added a new environment variable to the pre-/post-xfer exec commands (in
- the daemon's config file): RSYNC_PID. This value will be the same in
- both the pre- and post-xfer commands, so it can be used if the pre-xfer
- command wants to cache some arg/request info for the post-xfer command.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Did a code audit using IBM's code-checker program and made several
- changes, including: replacing most of the strcpy() and sprintf()
- calls with strlcpy(), snprintf(), and memcpy(), adding a 0-value to
- an enum that had been intermingling a literal 0 with the defined enum
- values, silencing some uninitialized memory checks, marking some
- functions with a "noreturn" attribute, and changing an "if" that
- could never succeed on some platforms into a pre-processor directive
- that conditionally compiles the code.
-
- - Fixed a potential bug in f_name_cmp() when both the args are a
- top-level "." dir (which doesn't happen in normal operations).
-
- - Changed exit_cleanup() so that it can never return instead of exit.
- The old code might return if it found the exit_cleanup() function
- was being called recursively. The new code is segmented so that
- any recursive calls move on to the next step of the exit-processing.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
- make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
- - The rsync.yo and rsyncd.conf.yo files have been updated to work
- better with the latest yodl 2.x releases.
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
- - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
- consistent opening comments.
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
