-rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03)
+rsync changes since last release
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul
- Mackerras)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
- (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino)
+ * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra)
+ * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+ Zimmerman)
- * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai)
+ * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
+ specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
+ server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
+ as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
- * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt)
+ * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+ destination field.
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward
- Welbourne)
+ * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+ rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik)
+ * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+ unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+ (J.W. Schultz)
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
+ L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+
+ * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
+ in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
+ timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+
+ * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+
+ * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
+ contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
+ list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
+ Pool, Nelson Beebe)
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
- Faith)
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
+ * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
+ (Jos Backus)
