Also, reject a ".." dir if it would be sent as a relative dir. + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files - that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new - files). - - - Added the --min-size=SIZE option to exclude small files from the - transfer. - - - Added the --compress-level option to allow you to set how aggressive - rsync's compression should be (this option implies --compress). - - - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size - to allow easy entry of multiples of 1000 (instead of just multiples - of 1024) and off-by-one values too (e.g. --max-size=8mb-1). - - - The options --human-readable (-h) and --si change the output of the - --stats and the end-of-run summary to be easier to read. - - - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the - preservation of attributes on symlinks. - - - The --link-dest option now affects symlinks and devices (when - possible). - - - Improved the output of hard-linked and copied files when using - --link-dest, --copy-dest, or --compare-dest. - - - 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. (See the manpage for a list of the environment variables - that are set with information about the transfer.) - - - 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 will now only - replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing - dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash). - - - 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. - - - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions - to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx - - - 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. - - - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and - without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure - that files with the backup suffix are not deleted. - - - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to - better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output: - "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was the fifth file - to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of - a total of 9999. - - - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3 - trailing stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the - content below the dir (dir/** would not match the dir). - - - 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). - - - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit - with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. - - - If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining - the VA_COPY macro. - - - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory - recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes. - - - The wildmatch function was extended to allow an array of strings to - be supplied as the string to match. This allows the exclude code to - do less string copying. - - - Got rid of the safe_fname() function (and all the myriad calls) and - replaced it with a new function in the log.c code that filters all - the output going to the terminal. + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - Unified the f_name() and the f_name_to() functions. + - 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.
