If you want to + change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh". + + * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0. + Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the + files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison) + + * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version + 27. (J.W. Schultz) + + * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The + per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm + 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. + + * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the + sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the + file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified. + + * Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline. + + BUG FIXES: + + * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards. + This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the + matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not + cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like + what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison) + + - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes. + For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep. + [If your string has BOTH "*" and "**" wildcards, changing the + "*" wildcards to "**" will provide the old behavior in all + versions.] + + - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo + does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.] + + - A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of + the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path, + just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*" + to get the old behavior in all versions.] + + - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched + against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if + there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar" + would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as + "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the + old behavior in all versions.] + + * 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. + + * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more + consistent manner. + + * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) + + * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log + when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow" + and "hosts deny" parameters in config file. + + * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1. + + * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file + that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and + Wayne Davison) + + * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files + to not get backed up. + + * When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode + 0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the + backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree). + + * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner. + + * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly + what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison) + + * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when + using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison) + + * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing + special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or + --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the + same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a + regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz) + + * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and + readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated + files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz) + + * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings + if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt. + + 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) + + * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a + lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides. + Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value + we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes). + (Wayne Davison) + + +NEWS for rsync 2.5.7 (4 Dec 2003) +Protocol: 26 (unchanged) +Changes since 2.5.6: + + SECURITY FIXES: + + * Fix buffer handling bugs.

(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) + + * 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.
