Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.3:
+Changes since 3.0.5:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
- allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
+ - Fixed a hang in the batch-reading code with incremental recursion.
- - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
- of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
+ - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
+ multiple connections.
- - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This
- particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
- be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
- the --remove-source-files was also specified.
+ - Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that
+ have consecutive slashes in the value.
- - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
- destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
- a non-root copy can't affect.
+ - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
- - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
- incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
+ - The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which
+ avoids a transfer error in the receiver.
- - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead
- of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides
- of the transfer).
+ - Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was
+ an I/O during the sending of the file list.
- - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
- this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail
- silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled
- due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified).
+ - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
+ start of the short options.
- - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename,
- the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name
- with the wrong charset conversion.
+ - Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code
+ 23 instead of the proper exit code 24.
- - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
- the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+ - Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy.
- - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
+ - Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the
+ receiving side when a mount-point directory did not match a directory in
+ the transfer.
- - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number
- (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation).
+ - Fixed the dropping of an ACL mask when no named ACL values were present.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Fixed an ACL/xattr corruption issue where the --backup option could cause
+ rsync to associate the wrong ACL/xattr information with received files.
- - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
- is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
- user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
- server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
+ - Fixed the use of --xattrs with --only-write-batch.
- - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit.
+ - Fixed the use of --dry-run with --read-batch.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target.
- - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
- or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
+ - Fixed configure's --disable-debug option.
- - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync"
- instead of "$RSYNC".
+ - Fixed a run-time issue for systems that can't find iconv_open() by adding
+ the --disable-iconv-open configure option.
- - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and
- to do even more consistency checks on the files.
+ - Complain and die if the user tries to combine --remove-source-files (or
+ the deprecated --remove-sent-files) with --read-batch.
