ENHANCEMENTS: - - 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). + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - 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 "\\". + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. - - 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.) + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - 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). + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - - 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). - - INTERNAL: - - - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). - - BUILD CHANGES: - - - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented - rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. - - - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). - - - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they - refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). - - - 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. + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
