-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7
-Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
-Changes since version 2.5.6:
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
- Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
- --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.0:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
- multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
- (Wayne Davison)
+ - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
+ run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
- - Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+ - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
- INTERNAL:
+ - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
+ not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
- - Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
- supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
+ - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
- - Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
+ - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
+ - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
+ CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
+ of rounding.h fails.
-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
-Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
-Changes since version 2.5.5:
+ - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
+ that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
+ the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
+ protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
+ file) was already working.
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+ - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
+ can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
+ --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
+ linked set of files, but not all of them).
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
+ - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
+ that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
- * 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)
+ - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
- * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
- destination field.
+ - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
- * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
- rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
+ - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
+ itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
+ and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
+ between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
+ revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
+ numbers).
- * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
- unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
- (J.W. Schultz)
+ - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
+ longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
+ date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
+ ownership, xattrs, etc.).
- * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
- rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
+ - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
+ because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
+ automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
- * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
- Middleton)
+ - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
+ wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
- * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
- and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
-
- * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
- terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
- (Dave Dykstra)
-
- BUG FIXES:
+ - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
+ rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
- * 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)
-
- * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
- dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
- processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
- an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
-
- * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
- broken. (Dave Dykstra)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
- (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
+ - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
+ listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
+ --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
- * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
- when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
+ - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
- * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
+ - Improved the documentation of the --append option.
INTERNAL:
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
+ sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
- * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
+ - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
+ normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
+ not have caused problems, though.)
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
+ - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
+ unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
+ the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
+ - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
+ included popt should be used or not.
- * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
- means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
+ - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
+ structure.
