(Wayne Davison) + - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was + run without specifying a --config=FILE option. - * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael - Zimmerman) + - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. - * 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) + - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to + not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. - * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the - destination field. + - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. - * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", - rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) + - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. - * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that - unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. - (J.W. Schultz) + - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom + CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building + of rounding.h fails. - * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an - rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) + - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. - * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon - Middleton) + - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver + that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on + the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse + protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a + file) was already working. - * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" - and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) + - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that + can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if + --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard- + linked set of files, but not all of them). - * Set the default value of --modify-window to 1 on Cygwin. (Lapo - Luchini) + - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time + that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. - * Open config files in text mode when O_TEXT is defined. This helps - on Cygwin when the config files are on a filesystem that are mounted - in binary mode. (Ville Herva) + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. - (Dave Dykstra) + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - BUG FIXES: - - * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John - L. Allen, Martin Pool) + - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the + itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, + and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish + between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a + revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device + numbers). - * 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) + - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no + longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- + date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, + ownership, xattrs, etc.). - * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) + - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) + because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it + automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. - * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) + - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support + wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). - * 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 support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that + rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). - * 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) + ENHANCEMENTS: - * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely - broken. (Dave Dykstra) + - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file + listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the + --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. - * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. - (Sviatoslav Sviridov) + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories - when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) + - Improved the documentation of the --append option. INTERNAL: - * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin - Pool, Nelson Beebe) + - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I + sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). - * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) + - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper + normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should + not have caused problems, though.) - * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + DEVELOPER RELATED: - * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) + - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about + unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of + the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. - * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. - (Jos Backus) + - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the + included popt should be used or not. - * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this - means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green) + - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory + structure.
