-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
+rsync changes since last release
- SECURITY FIXES:
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
- <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
- careful about reading integers from the network.
+ * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- BUG FIXES:
+ * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+ Zimmerman)
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+ * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
+ specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
+ server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
+ as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+ * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+ destination field.
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+ rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+ * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+ unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+ (J.W. Schultz)
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
+ L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+
+ * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
+ in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
+ timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+
+ * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+
+ * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
+ contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
+ list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ INTERNAL:
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
+ Pool, Nelson Beebe)
- * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
- visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
- rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
- file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+ * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
+ * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
+ (Jos Backus)
