+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
BUG FIXES:
- - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
- permissions without recreating the file.
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- - 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.
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
- - 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.
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
- algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
- fails.
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
- 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).
-
- - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
- preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
- - 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.
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
- - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
- the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
- should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
- rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
- replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
- dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
-
- - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
- unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
- "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
- file ownership that is implied by -a.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
- which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
- INTERNAL:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
- MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
- - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
- with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
