(J.W.

(J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda) + * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary + unless the verbose option was specified at least twice. BUG FIXES: - - for protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the - block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. - Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. - (Craig Barratt) - - - for protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in - mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit - counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for - file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) + * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards. + This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the + matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not + cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like + what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison) + + - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes. + For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep. + + - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo). + + - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of + the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path, + just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. + + - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched + against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if + there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar" + would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as + "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance). + * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now + properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the + user's file args are in the source tree.

A directory still cannot be replaced by a + regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W.
