Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse + the --compress option. - - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories - over and over again (generating warnings along the way). + BUG FIXES: - - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and - the password file (by the client): the files no longer need to be - terminated by a newline for their content to be read in. + - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list. + This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances + (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was + combined with --link-dest). - - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will - no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was - specified. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to - work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders - don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.) + - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right: + without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though + it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the + file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of + a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other + totally unchanged items). - - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy - (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy). + - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup + item so that we don't get an "already exists" error. - - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config - items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module - allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion. + - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- + time were not honoring the --modify-window option. - - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves - the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS. + - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being + unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the + directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that + ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing + destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version). - - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the - batch-processing options. + - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination, + we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination + hostspec as a filename. ENHANCEMENTS: - - The new option --keep-dirlinks (-K) allows you to symlink a directory - onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it - as matching a normal directory from the sender. - - - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file. - - - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6) - and documented all these options in the man page. - - - Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less - bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of - values. + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). - - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and - SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address. + - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options + that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was + also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing + of a pull operation that has multiple sources. - - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users. - - INTERNAL: - - - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory - and made the code easier to maintain. - - - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling - rprintf() with strerror() as an arg. + - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix + mentioned above). BUILD CHANGES: - - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files, - including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h. - - - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the - proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to be updated). - - DEVELOPER RELATED: + - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and + NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we + find in the /etc/group file). - - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit. + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
