-rsync changes since last release
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * 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 2 on Cygwin. (Max Bowsher)
-
- * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
- (Dave Dykstra)
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
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 the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- * 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)
+ - 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 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)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
- when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
+ - 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.*
INTERNAL:
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
