+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
- wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
- is in effect.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
- receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
- never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
- the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
+
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
- easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
- a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
- actions to a file (which is only supported by a daemon at present).
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
+
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
