+NEWS for rsync 3.0.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.5:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
- wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
- is in effect.
+ - Fixed a hang in the batch-reading code with incremental recursion.
- - 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).
+ - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
+ multiple connections.
- - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored
- in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection).
+ - Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that
+ have consecutive slashes in the value.
- - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
- instead of silently ignoring the option.
+ - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which
+ avoids a transfer error in the receiver.
- - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
- error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
+ - Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was
+ an I/O during the sending of the file list.
- - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
- message.
+ - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
+ start of the short options.
- - The rsyncstats script in support has an improved line-parsing regex that
- is easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+ - Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code
+ 23 instead of the proper exit code 24.
- - A new script, in support: file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
- attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
- taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+ - Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the
+ receiving side when a mount-point directory did not match a directory in
+ the transfer.
- - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
+ - Fixed the dropping of an ACL mask when no named ACL values were present.
- - 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).
+ - Fixed an ACL/xattr corruption issue where the --backup option could cause
+ rsync to associate the wrong ACL/xattr information with received files.
+
+ - Fixed the use of --xattrs with --only-write-batch.
+
+ - Fixed the use of --dry-run with --read-batch.
+
+ - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target.
+
+ - Fixed configure's --disable-debug option.
+
+ - Fixed a run-time issue for systems that can't find iconv_open() by adding
+ the --disable-iconv-open configure option.
