Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse - the --compress option. + - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again. - BUG FIXES: + - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the + permissions without recreating the file. - - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list. - This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances - (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was - combined with --link-dest). + - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination, + we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination + hostspec as a filename. - - 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 though - it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the - file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of - a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other - totally unchanged items). + - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with + permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when + the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file. - - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup - item so that we don't get an "already exists" error. + - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output + algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data. - - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- - time were not honoring the --modify-window option. + - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir() + fails. - - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being - unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the - directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that - ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing - destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version). + - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time. + + - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO + configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of + the newly patched feature. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a - per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). + - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files + that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new + files). + + - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the + preservation of attributes on symlinks. + + - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec" + and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a + per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode + transfer. + + - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in + the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs + should start. For example, if you specify a source path of + rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only + replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing + dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash). + + - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override + unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka + "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of + file ownership that is implied by -a. - - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options - that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was - also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing - of a pull operation that has multiple sources. + - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, + which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. - - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix - mentioned above). + - Some minor documentation improvements. - BUILD CHANGES: + - Updated some diffs in the patches dir. - - 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). + INTERNAL: - - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of - -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. + - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where + MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). + - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit + with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
