Fixed a bogus free when using --xattrs with --backup. + + - Avoid an error when --dry-run was trying to stat a prior hard-link file + that hasn't really been created. + + - Fixed a problem with --compress (-z) where the receiving side could + return the error "inflate (token) returned -5". + + - Fixed a bug where --delete-during could delete in a directory before it + noticed that the sending side sent an I/O error for that directory (both + sides of the transfer must be at least 3.0.7). + + - Improved --skip-compress's error handling of bad character-sets and got + rid of a lingering debug fprintf(). + + - Fixed the daemon's conveyance of io_error value from the sender. + + - An rsync daemon use seteuid() (when available) if it used setuid(). + + - Get the permissions right on a --fake-super transferred directory that + needs more owner permissions to emulate root behavior. + + - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses + its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync. + + - Improved the "--delete does not work without -r or -d" message. + + - Improved rsync's handling of --timeout to avoid a weird timeout case + where the sender could timeout even though it has recently written data + to the socket (but hasn't read data recently, due to the writing). + + - Some misc manpage improvements. + + - Fixed the chmod-temp-dir testsuite on a system without /var/tmp. + + - Make sure that a timeout specified in the daemon's config is used as a + maximum timeout value when the user also specifies a timeout. + + - Improved the error-exit reporting when rsync gets an error trying to + cleanup after an error: the initial error is reported. + + - Improved configure's detection of IPv6 for solaris and cygwin. + + - The AIX sysacls routines will now return ENOSYS if ENOTSUP is missing. + + - Made our (only used if missing) getaddrinfo() routine use inet_pton() + (which we also provide) instead of inet_aton(). + + - The exit-related debug messages now mention the program's role so it is + clear who output what message. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - Got rid of type-punned compiler warnings output by newer gcc versions. + + - The Makefile now ensures that proto.h will be rebuilt if config.h changes. + + - The testsuite no longer uses "id -u", so it works better on solaris. + + +NEWS for rsync 3.0.6 (8 May 2009) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.5: + + BUG FIXES: + + - Fixed a --read-batch hang when rsync is reading a batch file that was + created from an incremental-recursion transfer. + + - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of + multiple connections. + + - Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that + have consecutive slashes in the value. + + - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed. + + - The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which + avoids a transfer error in the receiver. + + - Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was + an I/O during the sending of the file list. + + - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the + start of the short options. + + - Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code + 23 instead of the proper exit code 24. + + - Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy. + + - Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the + receiving side when a mount-point directory did not match a directory in + the transfer. + + - Fixed the dropping of an ACL mask when no named ACL values were present. + + - Fixed an ACL/xattr corruption issue where the --backup option could cause + rsync to associate the wrong ACL/xattr information with received files. + + - Fixed the use of --xattrs with --only-write-batch. + + - Fixed the use of --dry-run with --read-batch. + + - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target. + + - Fixed configure's --disable-debug option. + + - Fixed a run-time issue for systems that can't find iconv_open() by adding + the --disable-iconv-open configure option. + + - Complain and die if the user tries to combine --remove-source-files (or + the deprecated --remove-sent-files) with --read-batch. + + - Fixed an failure transferring special files from Solaris to Linux. + + +NEWS for rsync 3.0.5 (28 Dec 2008) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.4: + + BUG FIXES: + + - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a + crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero. + Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking. + + - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short + options specified. + + - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental + recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle + "redo" files properly (and without hanging). + + - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot. + + - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or + destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem + when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell. + + - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside a --files-from + file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory. + + - Fixed a bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories when + incremental recursion is active. + + - Fixed a hard to trigger hang when using --remove-source-files. + + - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell. + + - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command. + + - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the + confusing "non-empty" qualifier. + + - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of + getnameinfo(). + + - Fixed a bug when using --sparse on a sparse file that has over 2GB of + consecutive sparse data. + + - Avoid a hang when using at least 3 --verbose options on a transfer with a + client sender (which includes local copying). + + - Fixed a problem with --delete-delay reporting an error when it was ready + to remove a directory that was now gone. + + - Got rid of a bunch of "warn_unused_result" compiler warnings. + + - If an ftruncate() on a received file fails, it now causes a partial- + transfer warning. + + - Allow a path with a leading "//" to be preserved (CYGWIN only). + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic + update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a + particular symlink idiom. + + +NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (6 Sep 2008) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.3: + + BUG FIXES: + + - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to + allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX). + + - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number + of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD). + + - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This + particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot + be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if + the --remove-source-files was also specified. + + - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the + destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that + a non-root copy can't affect. + + - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in + incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled. + + - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead + of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides + of the transfer). + + - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side, + this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail + silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled + due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified). + + - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename, + the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name + with the wrong charset conversion. + + - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating + the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings. + + - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr. + + - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number + (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation). + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol + is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the + user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive + server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server. + + - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile + or the configure files, only for actual changes in content. + + - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync" + instead of "$RSYNC". + + - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and + to do even more consistency checks on the files. + + NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (29 Jun 2008) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.2: @@ -2841,7 +3094,11 @@ Changes since 2.4.6: Partial Protocol History RELEASE DATE VER.
