rsync changes since last release 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) 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 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) INTERNAL: * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin Pool, Nelson Beebe) * More test cases. (Martin Pool) * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4. (Jos Backus)
