+Changes since version 2.5.7:
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
+ change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
+
* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
- --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
+ files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
27. (J.W. Schultz)
* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+ * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
+ sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
+ file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
+
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
- user's file args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
+ user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
Wayne Davison)
+ * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+ to not get backed up.
+
+ * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
+
+ * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+ what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
+ using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
+ special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
+ --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
+ same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
+ regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+ readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated
+ files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
+
INTERNAL:
* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
+ * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
+ lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
+ Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
+ we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
+ (Wayne Davison)
