(Wayne Davison) - - * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael - Zimmerman) - - * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the - specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) - server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such - as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) - - * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the - destination field. - - * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", - rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) - - * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that - unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. - (J.W. Schultz) - - * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an - rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) - - * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon - Middleton) - - * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" - and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) - - * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line - terminations. (J.W. Schultz) - - * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. - (Dave Dykstra) +NEWS for rsync 2.6.8 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 29 (unchanged) +Changes since 2.6.7: BUG FIXES: - - * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John - L. Allen, Martin Pool) - - * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not - in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents - timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) - * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) + - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any + wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative + is in effect. - * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) + - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the + receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call + never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about + the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel). - * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that - contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file - list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) + - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as + that caused by a bad sector) would make rsync think that the file's + read-position was left after the failed read's data. - * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple - dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) + - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored + in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by + init). - * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child - processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing - an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) + - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit + instead of silently ignoring the option. - * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely - broken. (Dave Dykstra) - - * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. - (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) - - * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories - when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) - - * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) + ENHANCEMENTS: - INTERNAL: + - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the + error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. - * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin - Pool, Nelson Beebe) + - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the + message. - * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) + - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex + that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines. - * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the + attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info) + taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. - * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) + DEVELOPER RELATED: - * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. - (Jos Backus) + - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. - * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this - means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green) + - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of + a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its + actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
