rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :) ANNOUNCEMENTS * Martin Pool is now a co-maintainer. NEW FEATURES * Support for LSB-compliant packaging * 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. 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: * 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 * Fix --cvs-exclude sigsegv bug. * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison. * Update to work with autoconf2.50 and 2.13.
