ENHANCEMENTS: - - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a - per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). - - - 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. - - BUILD CHANGES: - - - 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). + - 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 a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of - -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. + - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the + preservation of attributes on symlinks. + - 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.
