NEWS for rsync 2.6.8 (22 Apr 2006)
NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.7:
Changes since 2.6.8:
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
is in effect.
- Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).
- Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as
that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position
beyond the failed read's data.
- Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored
in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by
init).
- If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
instead of silently ignoring the option.
- Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as
fifos) from being linked.
- The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at
configure time instead of at runtime. This fixes a bug with --link-dest
creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system.
- ...
ENHANCEMENTS:
- In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
- When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
message.
- Improved the documentation for the --owner and --group options.
- The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex
that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines.
- A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
- ...
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- Removed the unused function write_int_named(), the unused variable
io_read_phase, and the rarely used variable io_write_phase. This also
elides the confusing 'phase "unknown"' part of one error message.
- Removed two unused configure checks and two related (also unused)
compatibility functions.
- The xattrs.diff patch received a security fix that prevents a potential
buffer overflow in the receive_xattr() code.
- The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
- A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
- Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
