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 a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count + (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid + checksum struct over the wire. - - 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). + - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded + arg's implied dirs to the transfer. - - 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. + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). - - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, - which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. - - - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will - now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized. - - - Some minor documentation improvements. - - - Updated some diffs in the patches dir. - - INTERNAL: - - - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where - MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). + ENHANCEMENTS: - - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit - with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining - the VA_COPY macro. + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. 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. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
