(Wayne Davison) - - * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison - 27. (J.W. Schultz) - - * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). - The per-file checksum size is determined according - to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which - reduces the probability of rsync algorithm - corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4 - checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda) - - * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary - unless the verbose option was specified at least twice. +NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 30 (changed) +Changes since 2.6.9: BUG FIXES: - * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now - properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the - user's file args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison) - - * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the - block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. - Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. - (Craig Barratt) - - * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in - mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit - counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for - file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) - - * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and - multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir. - (Wayne Davison) - - * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. - - * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g. + - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options: + it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones. - * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more - consistent manner. + - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest + option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for + matching items. - * Fixed some exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards. - For instance, "**/foo" now matches at the root, "CVS/R*" now - matches beyond the root, and "foo**bar" is matched against the - path, not just the trailing name. (Wayne Davison) + - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by + a signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not + being able to get the exit status from the script. - * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) - - INTERNAL: - - * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped - supporting. (J.W. Schultz) - - * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) - - * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new - defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) + - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the + filter rules. - -NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release -Protocol: 26 (unchanged) -Changes since version 2.5.5: + - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing" + files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the + copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats. ENHANCEMENTS: - * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (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) + - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to + delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate + delete pass. + + - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the + receiving side is at least version 3.0.0. This means that you + can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an + older rsync will generate an error. *Be sure to never specify a 0 + value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.* + + - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and + receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use + of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently + convey to the receiver what files are linked together. This reduces + the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and + moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the + receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that + older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both + sides). - * 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) + INTERNAL: - * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) + - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters + easier without forcing variables via casts. - INTERNAL: + - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of + string-handling functions. - * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin - Pool, Nelson Beebe) + - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. - * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) + - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a + compiler warning. - * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. - * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) + - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. - * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. - (Jos Backus) + DEVELOPER RELATED: - * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this - means rsync should build on more platforms.
