Also improved the error reporting if the building + of rounding.h fails. - - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time. + - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. - - If the generator gets a stat() error on a file, output it (this used to - require at least -vv for the error to be seen). + - 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. - - If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle - the exit status properly and generate a better error. + - 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). - ENHANCEMENTS: + - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time + that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. + + - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of excluding + a wider range of path entries. It also sends the user an error about + "missing" files instead of silently ignoring them. - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files - that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new - files). + - Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory + handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy. - - Added the --min-size=SIZE option to exclude small files from the - transfer. + - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling. - - Added the --compress-level option to allow you to set how aggressive - rsync's compression should be (the option implies --compress). + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size. + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the - preservation of attributes on symlinks. + - 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). - - 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. + - 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.). - - 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). + - 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. - - 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. + - 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). - - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, - which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. + - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that + rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). - - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will - now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized. + ENHANCEMENTS: - - Some minor documentation improvements. + - 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. - - Updated some diffs in the patches dir. + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - INTERNAL: + - Improved the documentation of the --append option. - - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where - MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). + - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon + parameters. - - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit - with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. + INTERNAL: + + - 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). - - If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining - the VA_COPY macro. + - 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.) - - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory - recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes. + - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the + "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory + churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned + args. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - 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. + - 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. + + - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the + included popt should be used or not. + + - The RPM spec file was updated to have (1) comments for how to use the + rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file. + - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory + structure.
