-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul
- Mackerras)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
- (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino)
+ - 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.
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra)
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
- * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai)
+ - 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.
- * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt)
+ - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
+ processing.
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward
- Welbourne)
+ - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
+ addition to its use in daemon mode).
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik)
+ - 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:
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
- Faith)
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
+ - 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 "\\".
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ - 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:
+
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+
+ BUILD CHANGES:
+
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+
+ - 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.
