(Ethan Benson) (Debian bug - #132272) - - BUG FIXES: + ENHANCEMENTS: - * 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. + * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken; + otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson) - * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of - "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. + * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install" + accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages. + (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis) - * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc - on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". - * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client - unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) + BUG FIXES: - * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing - slash. + * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process + slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the + current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool) - ENHANCEMENTS: + * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool) - * 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. + * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin + Pool.) - * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) + * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even + for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz) - * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work - and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) + * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle + trailing slashes. + + (Martin Pool) - * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, - print an error message. (Colin Walters) + * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods)
