This fixes some assert errors in the + hard-linking code, and some potential failed checksums (via -c) that + should have matched. + + - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list + and the transfer is using ACLs or xattrs. + + - Fixed a hang if a really large file is being processed by an rsync that + can't handle 64-bit numbers. Rsync will now complain about the file + being too big and skip it. + + - For devices and special files, we now avoid gathering useless ACL and/or + xattr information for files that aren't being copied. (The un-copied + files are still put into the file list, but there's no need to gather + data that is not going to be used.) This ensures that if the user uses + --no-D, that rsync can't possibly complain about being unable to gather + extended information from special files that are in the file list (but + not in the transfer). + + - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash. This + avoids a potential error where a filename could be interpreted as a + (usually invalid) option. + + - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for + --skip-compress. + + - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync + will now disallow access to that module. + + - If the destination arg is an empty string, it will be treated as a + reference to the current directory (as 2.x used to do). + + - If rsync was compiled with a newer time-setting function (such as + lutimes), rsync will fall-back to an older function (such as utimes) on a + system where the newer function is not around. This helps to make the + rsync binary more portable in mixed-OS-release situations. + + - Fixed a batch-file writing bug that would not write out the full set of + compatibility flags that the transfer was using. This fixes a potential + protocol problem for a batch file that contains a sender-side I/O error: + it would have been sent in a way that the batch-reader wasn't expecting. + + - Some improvements to the hard-linking code to ensure that device-number + hashing is working right, and to supply more information if the hard-link + code fails. + + - The --inplace code was improved to not search for an impossible checksum + position. The quadruple-verbose chunk[N] message will now mention when + an inplace chunk was handled by a seek rather than a read+write. + + - Improved ACL mask handling, e.g. for Solaris. + + - Fixed a bug that prevented --numeric-ids from disabling the translation + of user/group IDs for ACLs. + + - Fixed an issue where an xattr and/or ACL transfer that used an alt-dest + option (e.g. --link-dest) could output an error trying to itemize the + changes against the alt-dest directory's xattr/ACL info but was instead + trying to access the not-yet-existing new destination directory. + + - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the + file. + + - The --link-dest checking for identical symlinks now avoids considering + attribute differences that cannot be changed on the receiver. + + - Avoid trying to read/write xattrs on certain file types for certain OSes. + Improved configure to set NO_SYMLINK_XATTRS, NO_DEVICE_XATTRS, and/or + NO_SPECIAL_XATTRS defines in config.h. + + - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages. + + - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable. + + - Avoid re-setting xattrs on a hard-linked file w/the same xattrs. + + - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't + user writable. + + - Fixed a bug where a sparse file could have its last sparse block turned + into a real block when rsync sets the file size (requires ftruncate). + + - If a temp-file name is too long, rsync now avoids truncating the name in + the middle of adjacent high-bit characters. This prevents a potential + filename error if the filesystem doesn't allow a name to contain an + invalid multi-byte sequence. + + - If a muli-protocol socket connection fails (i.e., when contacting a + daemon), we now report all the failures, not just the last one. This + avoids losing a relevant error (e.g. an IPv4 connection-refused error) + that happened before the final error (e.g. an IPv6 protocol-not-supported + error). + + - Generate a transfer error if we try to call chown with a -1 for a uid or + a gid (which is not settable). + + - Fixed the working of --force when used with --one-file-system. + + - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will + reject an attempt to supply one (can configure --with-included-popt if + your system's popt library doesn't yet have this fix). + + - A couple minor option tweaks to the support/rrsync script, and also some + regex changes that make vim highlighting happier. + + - Fixed some issues in the support/mnt-excl script. + + - Various manpage improvements. + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - Added ".hg/" to the default cvs excludes (see -C & --cvs-exclude). + + DEVELOPER RELATED: + + - Use lchmod() whenever it is available (not just on symlinks). + + - A couple fixes to the socketpair_tcp() routine. + + - Updated the helper scripts in the packaging subdirectory. + + - Renamed configure.in to configure.ac. + + - Fixed configure's checking for iconv routines for newer OS X versions. + + - Fixed the testsuite/xattrs.test script on OS X. + + NEWS for rsync 3.0.7 (31 Dec 2009) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.6: @@ -3091,9 +3231,11 @@ Changes since 2.4.6: * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba build farm. + Partial Protocol History RELEASE DATE VER.
