Also improved the error reporting if the building + of rounding.h fails. - - 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 use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. - - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer - to it as a "file". + - 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. - - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any - generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to - the file by the destination filename. + - 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). - - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the - generator hasn't created the destination directory yet. + - 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 a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked - to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest - of the cluster. + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync - no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the - receiving side. + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - - Fixed a compatibility problem when usig --cvs-ignore (-C) and sending - files to an older rsync without using --delete. + - 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). - ENHANCEMENTS: + - 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. - - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead - of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any - actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all - the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you - are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). + - 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). - - 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 "\\". + - 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: - - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include - some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, - password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) + - 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 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). + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall - back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally - silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). + - 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). - BUILD CHANGES: + - 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.) - - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented - rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. + 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.
