-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser by Paul
- Mackerras.
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. Thankyou
- to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino.
+ - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+ without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
+ it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
+ file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged
+ hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
+ unchanged files).
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
-
- * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
-
- * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
-
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. Thanks to Edward
- Welbourne.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. Thankyou to Jeff
- Garzik.
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. Based
- on a patch by Rik Faith.
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
+ - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
+ NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
+ find in the /etc/group file).
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
