(This can happen when using stunnel). - - - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as - that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position - beyond the failed read's data. - - - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored - in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by - init). - - - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit - instead of silently ignoring the option. - - - Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as - fifos) from being linked. - - - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at - configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest - creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system. + - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code. ENHANCEMENTS: - - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the - error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged. - - - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the - message. - - - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex - that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines. - - - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the - attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info) - taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command. + - None. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Removd two unused configure checks and two related (also unused) - compatibility functions. - - - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come. + - The RPM spec file was improved to install more useful files. - - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of - a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its - actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present). + - A few developer-oriented scripts were moved from the support dir + to the packaging dir.
