(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 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.0: 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) + - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was + run without specifying a --config=FILE option. - - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes. - For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep. + - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. - - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo). + - 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. - - An 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. + - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. - - 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" (for instance). + - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. - * 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) + - 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. - * 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 the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. - * 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) + - 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. - * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. + - 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). - * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g. + - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time + that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. - * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more - consistent manner. + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file - that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and - Wayne Davison) - - INTERNAL: + - 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). - * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped - supporting. (J.W. Schultz) + - 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.). - * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) + - 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. - * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new - defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) + - 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). - -NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release -Protocol: 26 (unchanged) -Changes since version 2.5.5: + - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that + rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). 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) - - * 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) + - 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. - * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories - when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) + - 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.
