ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
- otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
+ * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
+ * 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)
+
+ * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+ destination field.
+
+ * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+ rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+ unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+ (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
+ rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
+
+ * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
+ Middleton)
+
+ * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
+ and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
+
+ * Set the default value of --modify-window to 1 on Cygwin. (Lapo
+ Luchini)
+
+ * Open config files in text mode when O_TEXT is defined. This helps
+ on Cygwin when the config files are on a filesystem that are mounted
+ in binary mode. (Ville Herva)
+
+ * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
+ (Dave Dykstra)
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)
+
+ * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
+ contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
+ list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
+ dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
+ processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
+ an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
+
+ * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
+ broken. (Dave Dykstra)
+
+ * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
+ (Sviatoslav Sviridov)
+
+ * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
+ when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
+ Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+
+ * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
- * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
- slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
- current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+ * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
+ * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
- * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
- Pool.)
+ * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
+ (Jos Backus)
- * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
- for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+ * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
+ means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
