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 "\\". - - - 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.) - - - 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). - - - 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). - - INTERNAL: - - - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). BUILD CHANGES: - - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented - rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. - - - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). - - - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they - refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). + - 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). - - 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. + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
