(Ethan Benson) + ENHANCEMENTS: - BUG FIXES: + * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison) - * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message - unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr - and resulted in the wrong data being copied. + * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael + Zimmerman) - * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of - "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. + BUG FIXES: + + * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John + L. Allen, Martin Pool) - * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc - on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". + * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) - * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client - unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) + * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) - * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing - slash. + * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should + get a warning but it should not be treated as an error. (Bill + Nottingham) - ENHANCEMENTS: + http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489 - * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather - than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to - what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try - to parse the output. + INTERNAL: - * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) + * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin + Pool, Nelson Beebe) - * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work - and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) + * More test cases. (Martin Pool) - * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, - print an error message. (Colin Walters)
