- Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
multiple source directories were specified.
+ - Fixed the 32-bit truncation of the file length when generating the
+ checksums.
+
- The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
+ - If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
+ is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the
+ original file in the process).
+
- Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
(rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
+ - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
+ phase.
+
- When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
+ - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
+ for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
+ "vanished".
+
+ - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
+ refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
+ to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send
+ the message).
+
+ - Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to
+ the user in addition to being logged (some messages are intended to
+ be daemon-only).
+
- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
batch-processing options.
+ - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
+ implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
+ that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
+ implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
+ suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
+ help).
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
+ onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+ as matching a normal directory from the sender.
+
- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
- Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
+ - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
+ fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
+ sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
+ systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
+ to maintain for the future). The new code generates just one data
+ file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch via
+ stdin. Also, the old requirement of using the same fixed checksum-
+ seed for all batch processing has been removed. (Chris Shoemaker)

INTERNAL:
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
and made the code easier to maintain.
+ - Improved the argv-overflow checking for a remote command that has
+ a lot of args.
+
- Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+ - If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
+ IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
+ handles after we accept a connection (we used to close just one of
+ them).
+
+ - Optimized away a loop in hash_search().
+
BUILD CHANGES:
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
- If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
- proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to be updated).
+ proto.h file is left untouched (its time-stamp used to always be
+ updated).
+
+ - The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
+ target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
+ have $STRIP set in the environment.
+
+ - Fixed a build problem when SUPPORT_HARD_LINKS isn't defined.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
+ - Some new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
+ ones were removed.
