-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
- otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
-
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of
- a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb,
- similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy.
- (Martin Pool)
+ - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
+ not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
+ config file.
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
- BUG FIXES:
+ - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
+ basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+ in in effect.
- * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
- slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
- current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool)
+ - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
+ characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
+ using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ INTERNAL:
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
- * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
- trailing slashes.

- (Martin Pool)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods)
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
