-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
- SECURITY FIXES:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
- process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson)
+ - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- BUG FIXES:
+ - 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 problem that in many cases caused the error message
- unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
- and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ - 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.*
- * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
- on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+ INTERNAL:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
- than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
- what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
- to parse the output.
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
