+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
- allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on OSes, such as AIX).
+ - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
+ crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
+ Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
- - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
- destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
- a non-root copy can't affect.
+ - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
+ options specified.
- - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
- the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+ - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
+ recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
+ "redo" files properly (and without hanging).
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
+
+ - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
+ destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
+ when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
+
+ - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- - 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.
+ - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
+ confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
- - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
- or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
+ - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of
+ getnameinfo().
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
+ - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
+ update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
+ particular symlink idiom.
