+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
BUG FIXES:
- - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
- was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
- file).
+ - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
+ This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
+ (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
+ combined with --list-dest).
- - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
- that already exists in the --backup-dir.
+ - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+ without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
+ it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
+ file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
+ a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
+ totally unchanged items).
- - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
- setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
- mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
+ - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
+ item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
- - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
- the sender, and the file-list is large.
+ - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
+ time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
- - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
- FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
- necessary.
-
- - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
-
- - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
-
- - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
- that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
-
- - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
- referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the
- user and group of a symlink.
-
- - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time
- rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete.
-
- - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to
- backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative.
+ - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
+ unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
+ directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
+ ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
+ destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
- use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
-
- - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
- that it includes copies of identical files.
-
- - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
- --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
- patches dir and enhanced.)
-
- - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to
- start a daemon that had improper default option values that could
- cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects.
+ - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
+ that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
+ also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
+ of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
- - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
- to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
- that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
-
- - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
- the patches dir.)
-
- - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
- file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
- partial file.
-
- - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
- --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options.
-
- - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
- files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
- once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses
- --link-dest.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over
- the socket.
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- - Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size.
+ - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
+ NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
+ find in the /etc/group file).
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
- - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
