+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
BUG FIXES:
- - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
- was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
- file).
+ - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
- that already exists in the --backup-dir.
-
- - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
- setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
- mkstemp().
-
- - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
- FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
- necessary.
-
- - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
-
- - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure.
+ - 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:
- - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
- use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
-
- - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
+ - 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.*
- - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a
- user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
- could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
+ INTERNAL:
- - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
- to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
- that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
- file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
- partial file.
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
