(Wayne Davison) - - * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael - Zimmerman) - - * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the - specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned) - server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such - as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul) - - * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the - destination field. - - * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-", - rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz) - - * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that - unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory. - (J.W. Schultz) - - * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an - rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey) + BUG FIXES: - * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon - Middleton) + - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did + not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the + rsyncd.conf file. - * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow" - and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji) + - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write + permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. - * Set the default value of --modify-window to 2 on Cygwin. (Max Bowsher) + - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the + basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i + is in effect. - * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set. - (Dave Dykstra) + - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after + processing. - BUG FIXES: - - * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John - L. Allen, Martin Pool) + - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in + addition to its use in daemon mode). - * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not - in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents - timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen) + - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete + processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a + newline. - * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) + - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer + to it as a "file". - * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) + ENHANCEMENTS: - * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that - contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file - list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison) + - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead + of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any + actual updating of the destination. - * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple - dups in a row. (Wayne Davison) + - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped + characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output + using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\". - * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child - processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing - an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra) + - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include + some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, + password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) - * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely - broken. (Dave Dykstra) + - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that + it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we + really did expect the socket to close). - * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances. - (Sviatoslav Sviridov) + INTERNAL: - * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories - when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt) + - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). - INTERNAL: + BUILD CHANGES: - * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin - Pool, Nelson Beebe) + - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented + rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. - * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison) + - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). - * More test cases. (Martin Pool) + - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they + refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). - * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. - (Jos Backus) + - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that + the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s + presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
