(Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is - the sender, and the file-list is large. + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - - 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 the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. - - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed. + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). - - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks - that are being copied, even if they point nowhere. + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. - - 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. + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was + compared against the daemon excludes. - - 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. + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). 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 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. - - INTERNAL: + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over - the socket. + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. - - Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size. + DEVELOPER RELATED: - BUILD CHANGES: + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
