-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
- 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.
+ - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+ we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+ hostspec as a filename.
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
-
- * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. Thanks to Edward
- Welbourne.
+ - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+ preservation of attributes on symlinks.
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. Thankyou to Jeff
- Garzik.
+ - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
+ and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
+ per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+ transfer.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ INTERNAL:
- * --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.
+ - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+ MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+ with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
