Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.4:
+ OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+ - Non-printable chars in filenames are now output using backslash-
+ escaped characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is
+ output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash
+ is now output as "\\". Rsync also uses your locale setting, which
+ should make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable (when
+ appropriate).
+
+ - If rsync received an empty file list when pulling files, it would
+ output an "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit
+ status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do
+ this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed
+ to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior -- we
+ now do the normal end-of-run outputting (depending on options) and
+ exit with the appropriate exit status.
+
BUG FIXES:
- A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
- config file.
+ rsyncd.conf file.
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified
+ that might have caused an infinite loop or perhaps a crash.
- Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
- If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
- in in effect.
+ is in effect.
- Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
processing.
processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
newline.
+ - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
+ to it as a "file".
+
+ - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
+ generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
+ the file by the destination filename.
+
+ - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
+ generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
+
+ - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
+ to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
+ of the cluster.
+
+ - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
+ no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the
+ receiving side.
+
+ - Fixed a compatibility problem when using --cvs-ignore (-C) and
+ sending files to an older rsync without using --delete.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
- characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
- using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+ - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
+ of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
+ actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all
+ the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
+ are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
+
+ - When the generator is taking a long time to fill up its output buffer
+ (e.g. if the transferred files are few, small, or missing), it now
+ periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver
+ can get started on the files sooner rather than later.
+
+ - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
+ some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
+ password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
+
+ - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
+ it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
+ really did expect the socket to close).
+
+ - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
+ back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
+ silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).

BUILD CHANGES:
+ - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
+ rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
+
- You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
- Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
