(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) + + 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) + + * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) + + * 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 the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple + dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) + + * 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) + + * 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) + + INTERNAL: + + * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin + Pool, Nelson Beebe) + + * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) + + * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + + * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) + + * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. + (Jos Backus) + + * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this + means rsync should build on more platforms.

(Cameron Simpson) + + * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install" + accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages. + (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis) + + * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of + a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb, + similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy. + (Martin Pool) + + + BUG FIXES: + + * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process + slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the + current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool) + + * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool) + + * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin + Pool.) + + * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even + for remote connections.
