The number of - characters is also different (to remove an unused field). +NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.2: BUG FIXES: - - Fixed a really old bug that caused --checksum (-c) to checksum all the - files encountered during the delete scan (ouch). - - - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again. - - - If the sender gets an early EOF reading a source file, we propagate this - error to the receiver so that it can discard the file and try requesting - it again (which is the existing behavior for other kinds of read errors). - - - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the - permissions without recreating the file. + - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has + "use chroot" enabled. - - 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. + - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with - permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when - the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file. + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output - algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data. + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir() - fails. + - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time. + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. - - If the generator gets a stat() error on a file, output it (this used to - require at least -vv for the error to be seen). + - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. - - If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle - the exit status properly and generate a better error. + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). - - Fixed some glitches in the double-verbose output when using --copy-dest, - --link-dest, or --compare-dest. + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. - - Fixed the matching of the dont-compress items (e.g. *.gz) against files - that have a path component containing a slash. + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was + compared against the daemon excludes. - - If code reading a filter/exclude file an EINTR error, rsync now clears - the error flag on the file handle so it can keep on reading. + - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count + (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid + checksum struct over the wire. - - If --relative is active, the sending side cleans up trailing "/" or "/." - suffixes to avoid triggering a bug in older rsync versions. Also, we now - reject a ".." dir if it would be sent as a relative dir. + - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded + arg's implied dirs to the transfer. - - If a non-directory is in the way of a directory and rsync is run with - --dry-run and --delete, rsync no longer complains about not being able - to opendir() the not-yet present directory. - - - Got rid of the need for --force to be used in some circumstances with - --delete-after (making it consistent with --delete-before/-during). + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --specials option to tell rsync to copy special files (and does - not require root). The --devices option now affects just character and - block devices (which now matches the documentation). The -D option still - requests both --devices and --specials, and -a still implies -D. - - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files that - are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new files). - - - Added the --min-size=SIZE option to exclude small files from the - transfer. - - - Added the --compress-level option to allow you to set how aggressive - rsync's compression should be (this option implies --compress). - - - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size to - allow easy entry of multiples of 1000 (instead of just multiples of 1024) - and off-by-one values too (e.g. --max-size=8mb-1). - - - The options --human-readable (-h) and --si change the output of the - --stats and the end-of-run summary to be easier to read. - - - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the - preservation of attributes on symlinks. - - - The --link-dest option now affects symlinks and devices (when possible). - - - Improved the output of hard-linked and copied files when using - --link-dest, --copy-dest, or --compare-dest. - - - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec" and - "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a per-module - basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode transfer. (See - the manpage for a list of the environment variables that are set with - information about the transfer.) - - - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in - the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs - should start. For example, if you specify a source path of - rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync will now only - replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing - dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash). - - - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override unwanted - implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka "--archive - --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of file ownership - that is implied by -a. - - - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions to - be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx - - - Added the "incoming chmod" and "outgoing chmod" daemon options that allow - a module to specify what permissions changes should be applied to all - files copied to and from the daemon. - - - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, which - sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. - - - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will now - delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized. - - - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and without - --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure that files - with the backup suffix are not deleted. - - - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to - better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output: - "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was the fifth file - to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of - a total of 9999. - - - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3 trailing - stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the content below the - dir (dir/** would not match the dir). - - - Added the --prune-empty-dirs (-m) option that makes the receiving rsync - discard empty chains of directories from the file-list. This makes it - easier to selectively copy files from a source hierarchy and end up with - just the directories needed to hold the resulting files. - - - If the --itemize-changes (-i) option is repeated, rsync now includes - unchanged files in the itemized output (similar to -vv, but without all - the other verbose messages that can get in the way). Of course, the - client must be version 2.6.7 for this to work, but the remote rsync only - needs to be 2.6.7 if you're pushing files. - - - Added the --super option to make the receiver always attempt super- user - activities. This is useful for systems that allow things such as devices - to be created or ownership to be set without being UID 0, and is also - useful for someone who wants to ensure that errors will be output if the - receiving rsync isn't being run as root. - - - Added the --sockopts option for those few who want to customize the TCP - options used to contact a daemon rsync. - - - Added a way for the --temp-dir option to be combined with a partial-dir - setting that lets rsync avoid non-atomic updates (for those times when - --temp-dir is not being used because space is tight). - - - Some minor documentation improvements. - - - Updated some diffs in the patches dir. - - INTERNAL: - - - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where - MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). - - - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit - with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. - - - If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining - the VA_COPY macro. - - - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory - recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes. - - - The wildmatch function was extended to allow an array of strings to be - supplied as the string to match. This allows the exclude code to do less - string copying. - - - Got rid of the safe_fname() function (and all the myriad calls) and - replaced it with a new function in the log.c code that filters all the - output going to the terminal. + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - Unified the f_name() and the f_name_to() functions. + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO - configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of - the newly patched feature. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - - The testsuite now sets HOME so that it won't be affecting by a file - such as ~/.popt. + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
