Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle + "redo" files properly (and without hanging). + + - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot. + + - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or + destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem + when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell. + + - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside a --files-from + file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory. + + - Fixed a bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories when + incremental recursion is active. + + - Fixed a hard to trigger hang when using --remove-source-files. + + - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell. + + - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command. + + - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the + confusing "non-empty" qualifier. + + - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of + getnameinfo(). + + - Fixed a bug when using --sparse on a sparse file that has over 2GB of + consecutive sparse data. + + - Avoid a hang when using at least 3 --verbose options on a transfer with a + client sender (which includes local copying). + + - Fixed a problem with --delete-delay reporting an error when it was ready + to remove a directory that was now gone. + + - Got rid of a bunch of "warn_unused_result" compiler warnings. + + - If an ftruncate() on a received file fails, it now causes a partial- + transfer warning. + + - Allow a path with a leading "//" to be preserved (CYGWIN only). + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic + update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a + particular symlink idiom. + + +NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (6 Sep 2008) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.3: + + BUG FIXES: + + - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to + allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX). + + - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number + of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD). + + - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This + particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot + be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if + the --remove-source-files was also specified. + + - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the + destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that + a non-root copy can't affect. + + - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in + incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled. + + - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead + of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides + of the transfer). + + - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side, + this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail + silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled + due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified). + + - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename, + the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name + with the wrong charset conversion. + + - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating + the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings. + + - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr. + + - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number + (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation). + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol + is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the + user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive + server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server. + + - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile + or the configure files, only for actual changes in content. + + - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync" + instead of "$RSYNC". + + - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and + to do even more consistency checks on the files. + + NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (29 Jun 2008) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.2: @@ -2842,6 +2972,7 @@ Changes since 2.4.6: Partial Protocol History RELEASE DATE VER.
