(Ethan Benson) +NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 29 (unchanged) +Changes since 2.6.5: BUG FIXES: - * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message - unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr - and resulted in the wrong data being copied. - - * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of - "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. + - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right: + without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought + it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the + file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged + hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other + unchanged files). ENHANCEMENTS: - * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather - than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to - what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try - to parse the output. + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). + + BUILD CHANGES: - * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) + - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and + NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we + find in the /etc/group file). - * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work - and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
