+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.0:
BUG FIXES:
- - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
- not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
- rsyncd.conf file.
+ - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
+ run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
- - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
- permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+ - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
- - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
- basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
- is in effect.
+ - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
+ not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
- - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
- processing.
+ - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
- - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
- addition to its use in daemon mode).
+ - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
- - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
- processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
- newline.
+ - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
+ CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
+ of rounding.h fails.
+
+ - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
+
+ - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
+ that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
+ the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
+ protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
+ file) was already working.
+
+ - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
+ can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
+ --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
+ linked set of files, but not all of them).
+
+ - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
+ that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
+
+ - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
+
+ - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
+
+ - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
+ itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
+ and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
+ between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
+ revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
+ numbers).
+
+ - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
+ longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
+ date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
+ ownership, xattrs, etc.).
+
+ - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
+ because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
+ automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
+
+ - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
+ wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
+
+ - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
+ rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
- characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
- using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+ - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
+ listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
+ --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
- - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include
- some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
- password mismatch, etc.).
+ - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
- - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
- it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
- really did expect the socket to close).
+ - Improved the documentation of the --append option.
INTERNAL:
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
+ sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
+
+ - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
+ normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
+ not have caused problems, though.)
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
+ unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
+ the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
- - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
- refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+ - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
+ included popt should be used or not.
- - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
- the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
- presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
+ - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
+ structure.
