-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+ - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+ we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+ hostspec as a filename.
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
+ - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+ permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+ the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
- * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should
- get a warning but it should not be treated as an error. (Bill
- Nottingham)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
- INTERNAL:
+ - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+ preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+
+ - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
+ and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
+ per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+ transfer.
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+ INTERNAL:
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
+ - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+ MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+ - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+ with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
