(Wayne Davison) - - * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael - Zimmerman) - - * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the - specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) - server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such - as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) - - * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the - destination field. - - * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", - rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) - - * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that - unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. - (J.W. Schultz) - - * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an - rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) - - * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon - Middleton) - - * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" - and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) - - * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line - terminations. (J.W. Schultz) - - * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. - (Dave Dykstra) +NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 29 (unchanged) +Changes since 2.6.5: BUG FIXES: - - * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John - L. Allen, Martin Pool) - * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not - in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents - timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) + - 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). - * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) - - * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) - - * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that - contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file - list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) - - * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple - dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) - - * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child - processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing - an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) - - * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely - broken. (Dave Dykstra) - - * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. - (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie) - - * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories - when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) - - * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara) - - INTERNAL: - - * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin - Pool, Nelson Beebe) - - * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) + ENHANCEMENTS: - * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). - * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison) + BUILD CHANGES: - * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. - (Jos Backus) + - 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). - * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this - means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green) + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
