If you want to - change this, configure like this: "./configure --with-rsh=rsh". - - * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0. - Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the - files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison) - - * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol version - 27. (J.W. Schultz) - - * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length). The - per-file checksum size is determined according to an algorithm - provided by Donovan Baarda which reduces the probability of rsync - algorithm corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4 - checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda) - - * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary - unless the verbose option was specified at least twice. - - * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the - sending side. Made vanished source files not interfere with the - file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified. - - * Various trailing-info sections are now preceded by a newline. +NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.2: BUG FIXES: - * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards. - This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the - matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not - cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like - what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison) - - - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes. - For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep. - [If your string has BOTH "*" and "**" wildcards, changing the - "*" wildcards to "**" will provide the old behavior in all - versions.] - - - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo - does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.] - - - A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of - the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path, - just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*" - to get the old behavior in all versions.] + - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has + "use chroot" enabled. - - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched - against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if - there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar" - would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as - "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the - old behavior in all versions.] + - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now - properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the - user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison) + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the - block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64. - Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum. - (Craig Barratt) + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in - mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit - counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for - file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt) + - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and - multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir. - (Wayne Davison) + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. - * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN. + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). - * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g. + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. - * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more - consistent manner. + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was + compared against the daemon excludes. - * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen) + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). - * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log - when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow" - and "hosts deny" parameters in config file. - - * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1. - - * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file - that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and - Wayne Davison) - - * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files - to not get backed up. - - * When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode - 0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the - backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree). - - * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner. - - * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly - what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison) - - * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when - using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison) - - * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing - special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or - --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the - same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a - regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz) - - * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and - readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated - files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz) - - * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings - if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt. + ENHANCEMENTS: - INTERNAL: + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped - supporting. (J.W. Schultz) + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. - * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) + DEVELOPER RELATED: - * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new - defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a - lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides. - Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value - we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes). - (Wayne Davison) + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
