NEWS for rsync 2.6.8 (22 Apr 2006)
|
|
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
|
|
Changes since 2.6.7:
|
|
|
|
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).
