From 1ba6468f1bdaec43884b4d01d65834c8ab3312df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wayne Davison Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:43:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Mention all the latest changes in the NEWS file. --- NEWS | 83 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 79 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index 88d3bb1c..3d78dbd1 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -4,16 +4,91 @@ Changes since 3.0.0: BUG FIXES: - - ... + - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was + run without specifying a --config=FILE option. + + - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. + + - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to + not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. + + - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. + + - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. + + - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom + CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building + of rounding.h fails. + + - Fixed the use of th --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. + + - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver + that are non-regular file son the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on + the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse + protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a + file) was already working. + + - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that + can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if + --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard- + linked set of files, but not all of them). + + - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time + that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. + + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. + + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. + + - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the + itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, + and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish + between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a + revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device + numbers). + + - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no + longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- + date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, + ownership, xattrs, etc.). + + - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) + because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it + automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. + + - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support + wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). + + - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that + rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). ENHANCEMENTS: - - ... + - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file + listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the + --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. + + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. + + - Improved the documentation of the --append option. INTERNAL: - - ... + - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I + sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). + + - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper + normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should + not have caused problems, though.) DEVELOPER RELATED: - - ... + - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about + unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of + the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. + + - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the + included popt should be used or not. + + - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory + structure. -- 2.34.1
