+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
- daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
- destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
- of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
- --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
- is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
- preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
- the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+ - 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 bug where a deferred FLOG message would get sent from the
- generator to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite(). This
- fixes the "unexpected tag 3" fatal error.
-
- - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
- or --size-only is specified.
+ - 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.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - ...
+ - 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 careful to never specify
+ a 0 value to older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ INTERNAL:
- - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
- make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
- consistent opening comments.
