This avoids confusing NFS. + + - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the + batch-processing options. + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file. + + - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6) + and documented all these options in the man page. + + INTERNAL: + + - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some memory and made + things easier to maintain. + + - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling + rprintf() with strerror() as an arg. + + BUILD CHANGES: + + - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the various generated + files, including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and + proto.h. + + - The timestamp of the proto.h file is unaltered by "make proto" + if the contents don't change. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit. + +NEWS for rsync 2.6.2 (30 Apr 2004) +Protocol: 28 (unchanged) +Changes since 2.6.1: + + BUG FIXES: + + - Fixed a major bug in the sorting of the filenames when --relative + is used for some sources (just sources such as "/" and "/*" were + affected). This fix ensures that we ask for the right file-list + item when requesting changes from the sender. + + - Rsync now checks the return value of the close() function to + better report disk-full problems on an NFS file system. + + - Restored the old daemon-server behavior of logging error messages + rather than returning them to the user. (A better long-term fix + will be sought in the future.) + + - An obscure uninitialized-variable bug was fixed in the uid/gid + code. (This bug probably had no ill effects.) + + BUILD CHANGES: + + - Got rid of the configure check for sys/sysctl.h (it wasn't used + and was causing a problem on some systems). Also improved the + broken-largefile-locking test to try to avoid failure due to an + NFS build-dir. + + - Fixed a compile problem on systems that don't define + AI_NUMERICHOST. + + - Fixed a compile problem in the popt source for compilers that + don't support __attribute__. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - Improved the testsuite's "merge" test to work on OSF1. + + - Two new diffs were added to the patches dir. + + NEWS for rsync 2.6.1 (26 Apr 2004) Protocol: 28 (changed) Changes since 2.6.0: @@ -24,12 +126,6 @@ Changes since 2.6.0: shows better current-rate-of-transfer and remaining-transfer-time values. - - The configure script now accepts --with-rsyncd-conf=PATH to - override the default value of the /etc/rsyncd.conf file. - - - Added a couple extra diffs in the "patches" dir, removed the ones - that got applied, and rebuilt the rest. - - Documentation changes now attempt to describe some often mis- understood features more clearly. @@ -57,10 +153,6 @@ Changes since 2.6.0: - Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian machines.
