-rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30) -*- indented-text -*-
+rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
- ANNOUNCEMENTS
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai <kraai@debian.org>
- * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
-
- * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
-
- * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
- sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
- Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
-
- * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
- including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also
- includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the
- Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH
- portability project, and OpenBSD.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS
-
- * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
- included or excluded and why.
-
- * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
- details.
-
- * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
-
- * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
- file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
- open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
- file to get cleaned out by another process.
-
- * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
- options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
- consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
- installed on the platform.
-
- * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
- files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
-
- * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
-
- * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
- explain that we do it in a secure way.
-
- * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
- local machine.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
-
- * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
-
- * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
-
- * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
- to transfer fail to transfer
-
- * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
- overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
- ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
-
- PLATFORMS:
-
- * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
-
- * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
- scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
-
- * Platforms thought to work in this release:

- Cray SV1 UNICOS 10.0.0.8 cc
- Debian Linux 2.2 UltraSparc gcc
- Debian Linux testing/unstable ARM gcc

- TESTING:
-
- * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a
- test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba
- build farm.
