- Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
- - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
- instead of just updating the permissions.
+ - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
+ permissions without recreating the file.
- If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
+ - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
+ algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+
+ - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
+ fails.
+
+ - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
+
+ - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
+ configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
+ the newly patched feature.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+ - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
+ unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
+ "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
+ file ownership that is implied by -a.
+
+ - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
+ which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+
+ - Some minor documentation improvements.
+
+ - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
+
INTERNAL:
- Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
