+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
- it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
- option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
- matching items.
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
- a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
- being able to get the exit status from the script.
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
- - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
- filter rules.
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it
- would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync.
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
- files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
- copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
- delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
- delete pass.
-
- - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
- receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
- can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
- older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0
- value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
-
- - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
- receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use
- of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
- convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces
- the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
- moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
- receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
- older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
- sides).
-
- INTERNAL:
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
- - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
- easier without forcing variables via casts.
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
- - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
- string-handling functions.
-
- - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
-
- - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
- compiler warning.
-
- - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - ...
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
+
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
