+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - 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.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
+
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
+
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
+
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+ - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+ (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+ checksum struct over the wire.
+
+ - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
+
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
- that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
- files).
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
+
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
- preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
- - 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.
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
