+NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
- wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
- is in effect.
+ - Changed the hard-link code to never try to allocate 0 bytes of memory.
+ This fixes a failure on some Operating Systems, such as AIX.
- - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
- receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
- never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
- the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).
+ - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
+ the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
- easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
-
- - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
- attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
- taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
- a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
- actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
+ - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
+ in requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
+ user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
+ server.
