+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
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 the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- - 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).
+ - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+ option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+ matching items.
- - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as
- that caused by a bad sector) would make rsync think that the file's
- read-position was left after the failed read's data.
+ - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+ filter rules.
- - 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 or by
- init).
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
- instead of silently ignoring the option.
+ - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
+ receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you
+ can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
+ older rsync will generate an error. *Be careful to never specify
+ a 0 value to older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ INTERNAL:
- - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
- error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
- message.
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex
- that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+ - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
- - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
- attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
- taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+ - Figure out if the iconv() function has a const arg to avoid a compiler
+ warning.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
- - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - 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).
