BUG FIXES:
BUG FIXES:
- -
If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
- w
e now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
-
hostspec as a filename
.
+ -
Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
+ w
ildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
+
is in effect
.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
- that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
- files).
+ - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
+ receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
+ never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
+ the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).
- - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
- preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
- and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
- per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
- transfer.
+ - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
+ easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
- INTERNAL:
+ - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
+ attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
+ taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
- - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
- MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
- with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+ - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
+ a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
+ actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
