-Changes since version 2.5.5:
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (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)
-
- * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
- Middleton)
-
- * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
- and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
-
- * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
- terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
- (Dave Dykstra)
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
- L. Allen, Martin Pool)
-
- * 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)
-
- * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
-
- * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
-
- * 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)
-
- * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
- dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * 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)
-
- * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
- broken. (Dave Dykstra)
-
- * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
- (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
-
- * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
- when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
-
- * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
- Pool, Nelson Beebe)
-
- * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
-
- * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
-
- * Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
-
- * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
- (Jos Backus)
-
- * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
- means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
