This fix also made the exclude + check happen in the better place in the sending code. + + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). + + - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file + offsets. + + ENHANCEMENTS: - - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the - preservation of attributes on symlinks. + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - - 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. + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. - - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in - the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs - should start. For example, if you specify a source path of - rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only - replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing - dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash). + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override - unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka - "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of - file ownership that is implied by -a. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon, - which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files. + - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the + listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect + a dot-dir arg. - INTERNAL: + - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory + from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and + the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get + rebuild without cause. - - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where - MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin). + - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities + (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps. - - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit - with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer. + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
