Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.4:
+ OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+ - Non-printable chars in filenames are now output using backslash-
+ escaped characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is
+ output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash
+ is now output as "\\". Rsync also uses your locale setting, which
+ can make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable.
+
+ - If rsync received an empty file list when pulling files, it would
+ output a "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit
+ status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do
+ this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed
+ to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior: we
+ now do the normal end-of-run outputting (depending on options) and
+ exit with the appropriate exit status.
+
BUG FIXES:
- A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
rsyncd.conf file.
- Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified
- that might have caused an infininte loop or perhaps a crash.
+ that might have caused an infinite loop or perhaps a crash.
- Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
newline.
- - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
- to it as a "file".
+ - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, refer to it
+ as a "directory", not a "file".
- When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
the file by the destination filename.
- Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
- generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
+ generator hasn't created a needed destination directory yet.
- Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
of the cluster.
+ - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
+ no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the
+ receiving side. Also, we don't complain about being unable to remove
+ the mount-point dir.
+
+ - Fixed a compatibility problem when using --cvs-ignore (-C) and
+ sending files to an older rsync without using --delete.
+
+ - Make sure that a "- !" or "+ !" include/exclude pattern does not
+ trigger the list-clearing action that is reserved for "!".
+
+ - Avoid a timeout in the generator when the sender/receiver aren't
+ handling the generator's checksum output quickly enough.
+
+ - Fixed the ommission of some directories in the delete processing when
+ --relative (-R) was combined with a source path that had a trailing
+ slash.
+
+ - Make sure that --max-size doesn't affect a device or a symlink.
+
+ - Make sure that a system with a really small MAXPATHLEN does not cause
+ the buffers in readfd_unbuffered() to be too small to receive normal
+ messages. (This mainly affected Cygwin.)
+
+ - If a source filename ends with "..", treat it as if "../" had been
+ specified (so that we don't copy files to the parent dir of the
+ destination).
+
+ - If --delete is combined with a file-listing rsync command (i.e. no
+ transfer is happening), avoid outputting a warning that we couldn't
+ delete anything.
+
+ - If --stats is specified with --delete-after, ensure that all the
+ "deleting" messages are output before the statistics.
+
+ - Improved one "if" in the deletion code that was only checking errno
+ for ENOTEMPTY when it should have also been checking for EEXIST.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
- - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
- characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
- using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+ - When the generator is taking a long time to fill up its output buffer
+ (e.g. if the transferred files are few, small, or missing), it now
+ periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver
+ can get started on the files sooner rather than later.
+
+ - Improved the keep-alive code to handle a long silence between the
+ sender and the receiver that can occur when the sender is receiving
+ the checksum data for a large file.
- Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
really did expect the socket to close).
- If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
- back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
- silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
+ back to using syslog (and log an appropriate warning). This is
+ better than what was typically a totally silent failure (since a
+ daemon is not usually run with the --no-detach option that was
+ necessary to see the error on stderr).
+
+ - The man pages now consistently refer to an rsync daemon as a "daemon"
+ to distinguish it from a server in a non-daemon transfer.
+
+ - Made a small change to the rrsync script (restricted rsync -- in the
+ support dir) to make a read-only server reject all --remove-* options
+ when sending files (to future-proof it against the possibility of
+ other similar options being added at some point).
INTERNAL:
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") to enable isprint() to better
+ discern which filename characters need to be escaped in messages.
+
+ - Improved the naming of the log-file open/reopen/close functions.
+
+ - Removed some protocol compatibility code that was only needed to help
+ someone running a pre-release of 2.6.4.
BUILD CHANGES:
- Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
+
+ - Some minor enhancements to the test scripts.
+
+ - Added a few new diffs to the patches dir, including a patch that
+ enables the optional copying of extended attributes.
