Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse + the --compress option. - - The --stats output will contain time file-list time statistics if - both sides are 2.6.4, or if the local side is 2.6.4 and the files - are being pushed (since the stats come from the sending side). - BUG FIXES: - - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3 - was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude - file). + - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list. + This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances + (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was + combined with --link-dest). - - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination - that already exists in the --backup-dir. + - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right: + without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though + it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the + file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of + a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other + totally unchanged items). - - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed - setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with - mkstemp(). (Fix derived from the cygwin's rsync package.) + - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup + item so that we don't get an "already exists" error. - - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is - the sender, and the file-list is large. + - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- + time were not honoring the --modify-window option. - - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating - FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when - necessary. + - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being + unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the + directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that + ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing + destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version). - - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N. - - - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed. - - - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks - that are being copied, even if they point nowhere. - - - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the - referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the - user and group of a symlink. - - - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time - rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete. - - - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR (where DIR is a - relative path), the backup code was erroneously trying to backup a - file that was put into the partial-dir. + - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination, + we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination + hostspec as a filename. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can - use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases. - - - Added the --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files - from on the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the - transfer is being processed (which makes it more efficient than the - default, before-the-transfer behavior of --delete). Note that the - --del option is implemented as an internally-defined popt alias, so - an rsync daemon that refuses "delete" (which, for safety's sake, - really matches "delete*") will still refuse all delete options. - - - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except - that it includes copies of identical files. - - - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or - --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the - patches dir and enhanced.) - - - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.) - - - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options - so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to - start a daemon that had improper default option values that could - cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. - - - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon - to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value - that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. - - - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from - the patches dir.) - - - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received - file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the - partial file. + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). - - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest, - --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options. + - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options + that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was + also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing + of a pull operation that has multiple sources. - - Added the --dirs (-d) option for an easier way to copy directories - without recursion. + - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix + mentioned above). - - Added the --list-only option which is mainly a way for the client to - put the server into listing mode without needing to resort to any - option kluges (e.g. the age-old use of "-r --exclude="/*/*" for a - non-recursive listing). - - - Added the --omit-dir-times (-O) option which will avoid updating the - modified time for directories when --times was specified. For a - really large transfer, this option will avoid an extra pass through - the file-list at the end of the transfer to tweak all the directory - times. - - - Added the --filter (-f) option and its helper option, -F. Filter - rules are an extension to the existing include/exclude handling - that also supports nested filter files as well as per-directory - filter files (like .cvsignore, but with full filter-rule parsing). - This new option was chosen in order to ensure that all existing - include/exclude processing remained 100% compatible with older - versions. - - - Added the --delay-updates option that puts all updated files into - a temporary directory (by default ".~tmp~", but settable via the - --partial-dir=DIR option) until the end of the transfer. This - makes the updates a little more atomic for a large transfer. - - SUPPORT FILES: - - - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some - files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at - once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses - --link-dest and a parallel hierarchy of files to effect its update. - - - Added support/mnt-excl that takes the /proc/mounts file and - translates it into a set of excludes that will exclude all mount - points (even mapped mounts to the same disk). The excludes are made - relative to the specified source dir and properly anchored. - - - Added support/savetransfer.c -- a C program that can make a copy of - all the data that flows over the wire. This lets you test for data - corruption (by saving the data on both the sending side and the - receiving side) or provides a way to help debug a protocol error. - - - Added support/rrsync -- my version of Joe Smith's restricted rsync - perl script. This helps to ensure that only certain rsync commands - can be run by an ssh invocation. - - INTERNAL: - - - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over - the socket. + BUILD CHANGES: - - Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size. + - 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). - BUILD CHANGES: + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. - - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
