2.5.6:
======
ENHANCEMENTS:
=============
- The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
Zimmerman)
- Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
- The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
destination field.
- If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
- New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
(J.W. Schultz)
- Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
- Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
Middleton)
- Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
And "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
- Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
- Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
(Dave Dykstra)
BUG FIXES:
==========
- Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
- Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
- Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
- Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
- Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
- Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
broken. (Dave Dykstra)
- Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
(Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
- Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
- Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
INTERNAL:
=========
- Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
Pool, Nelson Beebe)
- Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
- More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
- Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
(Jos Backus)
- Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
