work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
+ - If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
+ is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the
+ original file in the process).
+
- Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
(rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
+ - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
+ phase.
+
- When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
+ - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
+ for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
+ "vanished".
+
+ - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
+ refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
+ to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send
+ the message).
+
+ - Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to
+ the user in addition to being logged (some messages are intended to
+ be daemon-only).
+
- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
batch-processing options.
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
+ onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+ as matching a normal directory from the sender.
+
- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
and documented all these options in the man page.
+ - If the daemon get an address-in-use error starting up, we sometimes
+ suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 to work around their
+ buggy socket implementation.
+
- Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
values.
+ - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
+ SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.
+
- Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
INTERNAL:
- Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+ - If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
+ IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
+ handles after we accept a connecton (we used to close just one of
+ them).
+
BUILD CHANGES:
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
- If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
- proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to be updated).
+ proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be
+ updated).
+
+ - The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
+ target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
+ have $STRIP set in the environment.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
+ - Some new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
+ ones were removed.
