-rsync changes since last release
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
-
- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
-
- * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
- in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
- timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+ without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
+ it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
+ file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged
+ hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
+ unchanged files).
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- INTERNAL:
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
+ NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
+ find in the /etc/group file).
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
