+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.
- - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored
- in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection).
+ - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
+ --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
+ destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
- - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
- instead of silently ignoring the option.
+ - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
+ error.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
+
+ - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
+ files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
+
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
+
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+
+ - 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 help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
+ a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
- - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
- error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
+ - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older
+ rsync (protocols < 30): we now use a compatible block size limit.
- - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
- message.
+ - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+ (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+ checksum struct over the wire.
- - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
- easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+ - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude
+ check happen in the better place in the sending code.
- - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
- attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
- taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
+
+ - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
+ offsets.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
+
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
+
+ - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the
+ listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect
+ a dot-dir arg.
+
+ - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory
+ from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and
+ the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get
+ rebuild without cause.
+
+ - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities
+ (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps.
- - 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 (something that only a daemon supports at present).
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
