(This can happen when using stunnel). + + - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as + that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position + beyond the failed read's data. + + - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored + in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by + init). + + - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit + instead of silently ignoring the option. + + - Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as + fifos) from being linked. + + - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at + configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest + creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system. ENHANCEMENTS: - - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is - easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines. + - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the + error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. + + - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the + message. + + - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex + that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines. + + - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the + attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info) + taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - Removd two unused configure checks and two related (also unused) + compatibility functions. + + - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. + + - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of + a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its + actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
