(Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to - work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders - don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.) + - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after + processing. - - If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option - is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the - original file in the process). + - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in + addition to its use in daemon mode). - - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy - (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy). + - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete + processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a + newline. - - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config - items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module - allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion. - - - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a - phase. - - - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves - the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS. - - - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error - for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file - "vanished". - - - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as - refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used - to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send - the message). - - - Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to - the user in addition to being logged (some messages are intended to - be daemon-only). - - - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the - batch-processing options. + - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer + to it as a "file". ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory - onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it - as matching a normal directory from the sender. - - - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file. + - 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. - - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6) - and documented all these options in the man page. + - 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 "\\". - - If the daemon get an address-in-use error starting up, we sometimes - suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 to work around their - buggy socket implementation. + - 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 handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less - bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of - values. - - - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and - SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address. - - - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users. + - 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). INTERNAL: - - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory - and made the code easier to maintain. - - - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling - rprintf() with strerror() as an arg. - - - If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both - IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file - handles after we accept a connecton (we used to close just one of - them). + - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). BUILD CHANGES: - - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files, - including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h. - - - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the - proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be - updated). - - - The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip - target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems - have $STRIP set in the environment. - - DEVELOPER RELATED: + - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented + rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. - - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit. + - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). - - Some new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted - ones were removed. + - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they + refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). + - 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.
