Prior versions used to output too many creation events for - matching items. + - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by a - signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not being - able to get the exit status from the script. + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the - filter rules. + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it - would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync. + - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing" - files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the - copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats. + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. - - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains - and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this - option to control a remote shell's password prompt. + - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. - - Make sure that directory permissions of a newly-created destination - directory are handled right when --perms is left off. + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). - - Improved --hard-link so that more corner cases are handled correctly - when combined with options such as --link-dest and/or --ignore-existing. + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. - ENHANCEMENTS: - - - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking - to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly - (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory. - See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions. - - - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a - 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is - the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible with - the new incremental recursion mode. - - - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to delete - files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate delete pass. - - - Added the --acls (-A) option to preserve Access Control Lists. This is - an improved version of the prior patch that was available. (If you need - to have backward compatibility with old, patched versions, the new - acls.diff patch that will add that.) - - - Added the --xattrs (-X) option to preserver extended attributes. This is - an improved version of the prior patch that was available. (If you need - to have backward compatibility with old, patched versions, the new - xattrs.diff patch that will add that.) - - - Added the --fake-super option that allows a non-super user to preserve - all attributes of a file by using a special extended-attribute idiom. - There is also an analogous "fake super" option for an rsync daemon. - - - Added the --iconv option, which allows rsync to convert filenames from - one character-set to another during the transfer. The default is to make - this feature available as long as your system has iconv_open(). If - compilation fails, specify --disable-iconv to configure and rebuild. If - you want rsync to perform character-set conversions by default, you can - specify --enable-iconv=CONVERT_STRING with the default value for the - --iconv option that you wish to use. For example, --enable-iconv=. is a - good choice. See the rsync man page for an explanation of the --iconv - option's settings. - - - Added the --skip-compress=LIST option to override of the default list of - file suffixes that will not be compressed when using --compress. - - - The --max-delete option now outputs a warning if it skipped any file - deletions, including a count of how many deletions were skipped. (Older - versions just silently stopped deleting things.) + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was + compared against the daemon excludes. - - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client to request that it warn - about any files that it wants to delete without deleting anything. If - you're not sure what version the client is, you can use the less-obvious - --max-delete=-1, as old and new versions will both treat that as the - same request (though older versions don't warn). + - 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. - - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and - receiving side for all protocol versions. For protocol 30, the use of a - hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently convey to the - receiver what files are linked together. This reduces the amount of data - sent over the socket by a considerable margin (rather than adding more - data), and limits the in-memory storage of the device+inode information - to just the sending side for the new protocol 30, or to the receiving - side when speaking an older protocol (note that older rsync versions kept - the device+inode information on both sides). + - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded + arg's implied dirs to the transfer. - - A lot more --no-OPTION override options are now supported. + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). - INTERNAL: - - - The file-list sorting algorithm now uses a sort that keeps any same- - named items in the same order as they were specified. This allows - rsync to always ensure that the first of the duplicates is the one - that will be included in the copy. The new sort was also faster - than the glibc version of qsort() and mergesort() in my testing. - - - Rsync now supports the transfer of 64-bit timestamps (time_t values). - - - Fixed a build problem with older (2.x) versions of gcc. - - - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters - easier without forcing variables via casts. - - - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of - string-handling functions. - - - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir. - - - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a - compiler warning. - - - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30. - - - Make sure that a daemon process doesn't mind if the client was weird and - omitted the --server option. + ENHANCEMENTS: - - Improved the use of "const" on pointers. + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - Improved J.W.'s pool_alloc routines to add a way of freeing older - sections of a pool's memory. + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Rsync is now licensed under the GPLv3 or later. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - - Rsync now has a way of handling protocol-version changes during the - development of a new protocol version. This exchange of sub-version - info does not interfere with the {MIN,MAX}_PROTOCOL_VERSION checking - in older versions (which would be the case if every minor change made - to the protocol in CVS incremented the main PROTOCOL_VERSION value). + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
