(Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) - - - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is - the sender, and the file-list is large. - - - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating - FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when - necessary. - - - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. + - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did + not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the + config file. - - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed. + - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write + permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. - - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks - that are being copied, even if they point nowhere. - - - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the - referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the - user and group of a symlink. - - - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time - rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete. - - - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to - backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative. + - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the + basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i + in in effect. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can - use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. - - - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except - that it includes copies of identical files. - - - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or - --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the - patches dir and enhanced.) - - - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.) - - - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options - so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to - start a daemon that had improper default option values that could - cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. - - - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon - to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value - that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. - - - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from - the patches dir.) - - - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received - file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the - partial file. - - - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest, - --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options. - - - Added the --dirs (-d) option for an easier way to copy directories - without recursion. - - - Added the --list-only option which is mainly a way for the client to - put the server into listing mode without needing to resort to any - option kluges (e.g. the age-old use of "-r --exclude="/*/*" for a - non-recursive listing). - - - Added the --omit-dir-times (-O) option which will avoid updating the - modified time for directories when --times was specified. For a - really large transfer, this option will avoid an extra pass through - the file-list at the end of the transfer to tweak all the directory - times. - - - Added the --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files - from on the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the - transfer is being processed (which makes it more efficient than - the default, before-the-transfer behavior of --delete). - - - Added the --filter (-f) option and its helper option, -F. Filter - rules are an extension to the existing include/exclude handling - that also supports nested filter files as well as per-directory - filter files (like .cvsignore, but with full filter-rule parsing). - This new option was chosen in order to ensure that all existing - include/exclude processing remained 100% compatible with older - versions. - - - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some - files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at - once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses - --link-dest. + - 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 "\\". INTERNAL: - - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over - the socket. - - - Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size. + - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). BUILD CHANGES: - - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). + - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
