(Fix picked up from the cygwin package.) - - - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is - the sender, and the file-list is large. - - - 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 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, don't try to - backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative. + - 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 --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. - - - 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. + - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files + that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new + files). - BUILD CHANGES: + - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the + preservation of attributes on symlinks. - - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev(). + - 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.
