+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.6:
+Changes since 2.6.9:
BUG FIXES:
- - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
- we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
- hostspec as a filename.
-
- - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
- permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
- the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
+ - ...
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).
-
- - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
- preservation of attributes on symlinks.
-
- - 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.
+ - ...
INTERNAL:
- - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
- MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+ - Upgraded the popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of string-
+ handling functions.
+
+ 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.
