(Greg Louis) + * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) - * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the - time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron - Simpson) + * 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) 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) - * 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) + INTERNAL: - * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus) + * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin + Pool, Nelson Beebe) - * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin - Pool.) + * More test cases. (Martin Pool) - * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even - for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz) + * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. + (Jos Backus)
