Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.2:
+ OUTPUT CHANGES (ATTN: those using a script to parse the verbose output):
+
+ - Please note that the 2-line footer (output when verbose) now uses the
+ term "sent" instead of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read". If
+ you are not parsing the numeric values out of this footer, a script
+ should be better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the
+ indicator that the verbose output is over.
+
+ - The output from the --stats option was similarly affected to change
+ "written" to "sent" and "read" to "received".
+
+ - Made sure that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned with
+ each newline transformed into a question mark (which makes sure that
+ a filename can't span multiple lines nor cause an empty line to be
+ output).
+
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be
terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
- - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
- no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
- specified. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
- 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 has a read error on the sending side or the reconstructed
+ data doesn't match the expected checksum (perhaps due to the basis
+ file changing during the transfer), the receiver will no longer
+ retain the resulting file unless the --partial option was specified.
+ (Note: for the read-error detection to work, neither side can be
+ older than 2.6.3 -- older receivers will always retain the file, and
+ older senders don't tell the receiver that the file had a read
+ error.)
- If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the
for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
"vanished".
+ - The --copy-links (-L) option no longer has the side-effect of telling
+ the receiving side to follow symlinks. See the --keep-dirlinks
+ option (mentioned below) for a way to specify that behavior.
+
- 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
help).
- When the remote rsync dies, make a better effort to recover any error
- messages it may have sent instead of just dying with a write error
- trying to send data over the socket.
+ messages it may have sent before dying (the local rsync used to just
+ die with a socket-write error).
- When using --delete and a --backup-dir that contains files that are
hard-linked to their destination equivalents, rsync now makes sure
rename() behavior).
- Avoid a bogus run-time complaint about a lack of 64-bit integers when
- int64 is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
+ the int64 type is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
+
+ - Added a configure check for open64() without mkstemp64() so that we
+ can avoid using mkstemp() when such a combination is encountered.
+ This bypasses a problem writing out large temp files on OSes such as
+ AIX and HP-UX.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --inplace option that tells rsync to write each destination
file without using a temporary file. The matching of existing data
in the destination file can be severely limited by this, but there
- are cases where this is more efficient, such as appending data. Use
- only when needed (see the man page for more details).
+ are also cases where this is more efficient (such as appending data).
+ Use only when needed (see the man page for more details).
- - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
+ - Added the "write only" option for the daemon's config file.
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
and documented all these options in the man page.
stdin. Also, the old requirement of using the same fixed checksum-
seed for all batch processing has been removed.
+ - If an rsync daemon has a module set with "list = no" (which hides its
+ presence in the list of available modules), a user that fails to
+ authenticate gets the same "unknown module" error that they would get
+ if the module were actually unknown (while still logging the real
+ error to the daemon's log file). This prevents fishing for module
+ names.
+
+ - The daemon's "refuse options" config item now allows you to match
+ option names using wildcards and/or the single-letter option names.
+
INTERNAL:
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
- Optimized away a loop in hash_search().
- - Make sure that a filename that contains a newline gets mentioned with
- each newline transformed into a question mark (which makes parsing
- the verbose output via script more dependable).
-
BUILD CHANGES:
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
