Prior versions used to output too many creation events for + matching items. - - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the - basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i - is in effect. - - - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after - processing. - - - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in - addition to its use in daemon mode). - - - 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. - - - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer - to it as a "file". + - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the + filter rules. 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). - - - 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 "\\". - - - 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.) - - - 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). - - - 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). + - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the + receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you + can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an + older rsync will generate an error. *Be careful to never specify + a 0 value to older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.* INTERNAL: - - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). + - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters + easier without forcing variables via casts. + + - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of + string-handling functions. - BUILD CHANGES: + - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. - - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented - rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. + - Figure out if the iconv() function has a const arg to avoid a compiler + warning. - - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). + - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. - - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they - refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - 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. + - ...
