By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos - Backus. - - * Merged IPv6 patch from KAME.net. This is off by default, but - can be enabled with ./configure --enable-ipv6. - - ENHANCEMENTS - - * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are - included or excluded and why. - - * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more - details. - - * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. - - * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log - file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is - open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log - file to get cleaned out by another process. - - * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing - options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more - consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not - installed on the platform. - - * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit - files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. - - * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. - - * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, - explain that we do it in a secure way. - - * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the - local machine. +rsync changes since last release BUG FIXES: + + * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3.

(Martin Pool) - * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might - overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an - ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) + * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should + get a warning but it should not be treated as an error. (Bill + Nottingham) - PLATFORMS: + http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489 - * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) + * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. - * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf - scripts.
