Protocol: 27 (changed)

+Changes since version 2.5.7:
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
+ change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
+
* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
- --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
+ files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
* Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
27. (J.W. Schultz)
* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+ * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
+ sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
+ file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
+
BUG FIXES:
- * for protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
+ * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+ This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
+ matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
+ cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
+ what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
+ For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
+
+ - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo).
+
+ - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
+ the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
+ just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does.
+
+ - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
+ against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
+ there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
+ would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
+ "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance).
+
+ * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
+ properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
+ user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
(Craig Barratt)
- * for protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
+ * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
- * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versios and
+ * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
(Wayne Davison)
* Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
- * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p -o and -g.
+ * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
* Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
consistent manner.
+ * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
+
+ * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
+ that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
+ Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+ to not get backed up.
+
+ * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
+
+ * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+ what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
+ using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
+ special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
+ --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
+ same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
+ regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+ readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated
+ files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
INTERNAL:
* Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
+ * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
+ defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
+ lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
+ Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
+ we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
