+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
BUG FIXES:
- - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
- This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
- (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
- combined with --link-dest).
+ - Changed the hard-link code to never try to allocate 0 bytes of memory.
+ This fixes a failure on some Operating Systems, such as AIX.
- - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
- without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
- it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
- file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
- a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
- totally unchanged items).
-
- - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
- item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
-
- - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
- time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
-
- - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
- unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
- directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
- ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
- destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
+ - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
+ the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
- per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
-
- - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
- that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
- also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
- of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
-
- BUILD CHANGES:
-
- - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
- NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
- find in the /etc/group file).
-
- - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
- -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
-
+ - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
+ in requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
+ user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
+ server.
