NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.5:
BUG FIXES:
- 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).
- 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).
- 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.
- A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
- 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:
- Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- 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.
BUILD CHANGES:
- 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).
- Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
-i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
