ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead - of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any - actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all - the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you - are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). - - - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped - characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output - using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". + - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files + that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new + files). - - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include - some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, - password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) + - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the + preservation of attributes on symlinks. - - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that - it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we - really did expect the socket to close). + - 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. - - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall - back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally - silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). + - 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). - INTERNAL: + - 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. - - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). + - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, + which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. - BUILD CHANGES: + - Some minor documentation improvements. - - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented - rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. + - Updated some diffs in the patches dir. - - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). + INTERNAL: - - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they - refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). + - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where + MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). - - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that - the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s - presence based on the presence of the off64_t type. + - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit + with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
