rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30) -*- indented-text -*-
|
||||
rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
|
||||
|
||||
ANNOUNCEMENTS
|
||||
BUG FIXES:
|
||||
|
||||
* rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai <kraai@debian.org>
|
||||
|
||||
* Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
|
||||
|
||||
NEW FEATURES
|
||||
|
||||
* Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
|
||||
|
||||
* 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. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
|
||||
|
||||
* IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
|
||||
including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also
|
||||
includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the
|
||||
Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH
|
||||
portability project, and OpenBSD.
|
||||
|
||||
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:
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
|
||||
|
||||
* 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
|
||||
|
||||
* For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
|
||||
overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
|
||||
ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
|
||||
|
||||
PLATFORMS:
|
||||
|
||||
* Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
|
||||
|
||||
* autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
|
||||
scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
