By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos - Backus. + - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after + processing. - ENHANCEMENTS + - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in + addition to its use in daemon mode). - * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are - included or excluded and why. + - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete + processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a + newline. - * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more - details. + - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer + to it as a "file". - * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. + - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any + generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to + the file by the destination filename. - * 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. + - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the + generator hasn't created the destination directory yet. - * 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. + - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked + to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest + of the cluster. - * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit - files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. + - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync + no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the + receiving side. - * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. + ENHANCEMENTS: - * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, - explain that we do it in a secure way. + - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead + of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any + actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all + the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you + are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). - * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the - local machine. + - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped + characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output + using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". - BUG FIXES: + - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include + some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, + password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) + + - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that + it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we + really did expect the socket to close). + + - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall + back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally + silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). + + INTERNAL: + + - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). - * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. + BUILD CHANGES: - * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. + - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented + rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. - * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked - to transfer fail to transfer + - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). - * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison. + - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they + refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). - * Update to work with autoconf2.50 and 2.13. + - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that + the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s + presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
