-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - 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
+ rsyncd.conf file.
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
- * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should
- get a warning but it should not be treated as an error. (Bill
- Nottingham)
+ - 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
+ is in effect.
- http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489
+ - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
+ processing.
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete.
+ - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
+ addition to its use in daemon mode).
+
+ - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
+ processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
+ newline.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - 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 "\\".
+
+ - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include
+ some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
+ password mismatch, etc.).
+
+ - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
+ it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
+ really did expect the socket to close).
INTERNAL:
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+
+ BUILD CHANGES:
+
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
+ refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+ - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
+ the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
+ presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
