Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse - the --compress option. + - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was + run without specifying a --config=FILE option. - BUG FIXES: + - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. + + - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to + not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. + + - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. + + - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. + + - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom + CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building + of rounding.h fails. + + - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. + + - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver + that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on + the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse + protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a + file) was already working. - - 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). + - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that + can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if + --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard- + linked set of files, but not all of them). - - 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). + - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time + that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. - - 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. + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- - time were not honoring the --modify-window option. + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - - 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). + - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the + itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, + and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish + between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a + revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device + numbers). + + - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no + longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- + date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, + ownership, xattrs, etc.). + + - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) + because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it + automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. + + - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support + wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). + + - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that + rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). ENHANCEMENTS: - - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a - per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). + - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file + listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the + --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. + + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. + + - Improved the documentation of the --append option. + + INTERNAL: - - 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. + - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I + sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). - - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix - mentioned above). + - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper + normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should + not have caused problems, though.) - BUILD CHANGES: + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - 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). + - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about + unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of + the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. - - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of - -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. + - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the + included popt should be used or not. + - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory + structure.
