+Changes since version 2.5.7:
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync. If you want to
+ change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
+
* Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
- --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
+ files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
- * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
+ * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version
27. (J.W. Schultz)
- * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
- The per-file checksum size is determined according
- to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
- reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
- corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
+ * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The

checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
* The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+ * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
+ sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the
+ file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
+
+ * Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline.
+
BUG FIXES:
* Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
* The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
- user's file args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
+ user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
* For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
(Craig Barratt)
-
+
* For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
* Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
+ * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
+ when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
+ and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
+
+ * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
+
* Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
Wayne Davison)
* Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
- * Improved the mkstemp error message to always include the directory
- info where the temp file is being created. (Wayne Davison)
+ * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+ what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
* Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
+ * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+ readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated
+ files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
+ if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
+
INTERNAL:
* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
+ * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
+ lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
+ Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
+ we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
