(This can happen when using stunnel). + - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as - that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position - beyond the failed read's data. + - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a + --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the + destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied. - - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored - in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by - init). + - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev" + error. - - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit - instead of silently ignoring the option. + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - - Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as - fifos) from being linked. + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at - configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest - creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system. + - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no + files) to a differently named, non-existent directory. - ENHANCEMENTS: + - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. + + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. + + - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. + + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). + + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten. + + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or + a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes. - - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the - error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. + - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older + rsync (protocols < 30): we now use a compatible block size limit. - - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the - message. + - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count + (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid + checksum struct over the wire. - - Improved the documentation for the --owner and --group options. + - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded + arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude + check happen in the better place in the sending code. - - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex - that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines. + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). - - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the - attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info) - taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. + - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file + offsets. + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". + + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Removd two unused configure checks and two related (also unused) - compatibility functions. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. + + - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the + listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect + a dot-dir arg. - - The xattrs.diff patch received a security fix that prevents a potential - buffer overflow in the receive_xattr() code. + - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory + from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and + the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get + rebuild without cause. - - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. + - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities + (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps. - - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of - a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its - actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present). + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
