BUG FIXES:
- ...
- Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
- Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
- Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
- Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
- Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
- Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
of rounding.h fails.
- Fixed the use of th --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 file son 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 cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
--append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
linked set of files, but not all of them).
- Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
- Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
- Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
- Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
numbers).
- 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 they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
- 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 support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- ...
- 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.
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.)
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 should be used or not.
- Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
structure.
