Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.0:
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
- run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
+ - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
+ crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
+ Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
- - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
+ - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
+ options specified.
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
- not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
+ - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
+ recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
+ "redo" files properly (and without hanging).
- - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
+ - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
- - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
+ - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
+ destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
+ when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
- CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
- of rounding.h fails.
+ - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside of a --files-from
+ file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory.
- - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
+ - Fixed a bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories in when
+ incremental recursion is active.
- - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
- that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
- the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
- protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
- file) was already working.
+ - Fixed a potential (hard to trigger) hang when using --remove-source-files.
- - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
- can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
- --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
- linked set of files, but not all of them).
+ - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
- that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
+ - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
- - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
+ - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
+ confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
- - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
-
- - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
- itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
- and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
- between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
- revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
- numbers).
-
- - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
- longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
- date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
- ownership, xattrs, etc.).
-
- - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
- because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
- automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
-
- - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
- wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
-
- - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
- rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
+ - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of
+ getnameinfo().
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
- listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
- --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
-
- - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
-
- - Improved the documentation of the --append option.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
- sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
-
- - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
- normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
- not have caused problems, though.)
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
- unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
- the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
-
- - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
- included popt should be used or not.
-
- - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
- structure.
+ - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
+ update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
+ particular symlink idiom.
