Also improved the error reporting if the building - of rounding.h fails. - - - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. - - - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver - that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on - the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse - protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a - file) was already working. - - - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that - can skip a file in a set of hard-linked files (i.e. --ignore-existing, - --append, etc.), without skipping all the files in the set. - - - Avoid setting the modify time on a directory that already has the right - modify time set. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. - - - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of applying the - exclude rules to path entries. It also sends the user an error just as - if the files were actually missing (instead of silently ignoring the - user's args), and avoids sending the user the filter-action messages - for these non-user-initiated rules. - - - Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory - handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy. - - - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling. - - - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. - - - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. - - - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no - longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- - date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, - ownership, xattrs, etc.). - - - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) - because the options conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, - it automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. - - - Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could - make a floating exclude rule get treated as matching an absolute path. - - - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support - wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). - - - Fixed the inclusion of per-dir merge files from implied dirs. - - - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that - rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). + - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --old-dirs (--old-d) option to make it easier for a user to - ask for file-listings with older rsync versions (this is easier than - having to type "-r --exclude='/*/*'" manually). - - - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file - listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the - --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. - - - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - - - Improved the documentation of the --append option. - - - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon - parameters. - - INTERNAL: - - - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I - sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). - - - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper - normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should - not have caused problems, though.) - - - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the - "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory - churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned - args. + - None. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about - unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of - the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. - - - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the - included popt code should be used or not. - - - Fixed two testsuite glitches: avoid a failure if someone's "cd" command - outputs the current directory when cd-ing to a relative path, and made - the itemized test query how rsync was built to determine if it should - expect hard-linked symlinks or not. - - - Updated the testsuite to verify that various bug fixes remain fixed. - - - The RPM spec file was updated to have: (1) comments for how to use the - rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file. + - The RPM spec file was improved to install more useful files. - - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory - structure. + - A few developer-oriented scripts were moved from the support dir + to the packaging dir. |
