-rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :)
+rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
- ANNOUNCEMENTS
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser by Paul
+ Mackerras.
- * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
+ * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. Thankyou
+ to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
+ Hagino.
- NEW FEATURES
+ * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
- * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
+ * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
- * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
+ * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
- * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
- sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
- Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
+ * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. Thanks to Edward
+ Welbourne.
- ENHANCEMENTS
+ * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. Thankyou to Jeff
+ Garzik.
- * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
- included or excluded and why.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
- details.
+ * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
+ multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. Based
+ on a patch by 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. Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
- * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
-
- * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
- file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
- open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
- file to get cleaned out by another process.
-
- * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
- options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
- consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
- installed on the platform.
-
- * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
- files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
-
- * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
-
- * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
- explain that we do it in a secure way.
-
- * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
- local machine.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
-
- * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
-
- * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
- to transfer fail to transfer
-
- * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison.
-
- * Update to work with autoconf2.50 and 2.13.
+ * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
