+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
- "use chroot" enabled.
+ - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
+ crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
+ Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
- - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+ - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
+ options specified.
- - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
- --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
- destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
+ - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
+ recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
+ redos properly (and without hanging).
- - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
- error.
+ - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
- - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+ - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
- - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
- exclude rule.
-
- - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
- files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
-
- - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
-
- - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
- errno when a function failed.
-
- - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
-
- - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
-
- - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
- newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
-
- - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
- a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
-
- - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older
- rsync (protocols < 30): we now use a compatible block size limit.
-
- - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
- (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
- checksum struct over the wire.
-
- - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
- arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude
- check happen in the better place in the sending code.
-
- - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
-
- - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
- offsets.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
- the daemon config file as "parameters".
-
- - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
-
- EXTRAS:
-
- - Added a new script in the support directory, deny-rsync, which allows
- an admin to (temporarily) replace the rsync command with a script that
- sends an error message to the remote client via the rsync protocol.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
- compatibility improvements.
-
- - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the
- listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect
- a dot-dir arg.
-
- - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory
- from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and
- the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get
- rebuild without cause.
-
- - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities
- (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps.
-
- - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
- bleed-over into patches that follow.
+ - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
+ confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
