1 NEWS for rsync 3.0.7 (31 Dec 2009)
2 Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
7 - Fixed a bogus free when using --xattrs with --backup.
9 - Avoid an error when --dry-run was trying to stat a prior hard-link file
10 that hasn't really been created.
12 - Fixed a problem with --compress (-z) where the receiving side could
13 return the error "inflate (token) returned -5".
15 - Fixed a bug where --delete-during could delete in a directory before it
16 noticed that the sending side sent an I/O error for that directory (both
17 sides of the transfer must be at least 3.0.7).
19 - Improved --skip-compress's error handling of bad character-sets and got
20 rid of a lingering debug fprintf().
22 - Fixed the daemon's conveyance of io_error value from the sender.
24 - An rsync daemon use seteuid() (when available) if it used setuid().
26 - Get the permissions right on a --fake-super transferred directory that
27 needs more owner permissions to emulate root behavior.
29 - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
30 its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
32 - Improved the "--delete does not work without -r or -d" message.
34 - Improved rsync's handling of --timeout to avoid a weird timeout case
35 where the sender could timeout even though it has recently written data
36 to the socket (but hasn't read data recently, due to the writing).
38 - Some misc manpage improvements.
40 - Fixed the chmod-temp-dir testsuite on a system without /var/tmp.
42 - Make sure that a timeout specified in the daemon's config is used as a
43 maximum timeout value when the user also specifies a timeout.
45 - Improved the error-exit reporting when rsync gets an error trying to
46 cleanup after an error: the initial error is reported.
48 - Improved configure's detection of IPv6 for solaris and cygwin.
50 - The AIX sysacls routines will now return ENOSYS if ENOTSUP is missing.
52 - Made our (only used if missing) getaddrinfo() routine use inet_pton()
53 (which we also provide) instead of inet_aton().
55 - The exit-related debug messages now mention the program's role so it is
56 clear who output what message.
60 - Got rid of type-punned compiler warnings output by newer gcc versions.
62 - The Makefile now ensures that proto.h will be rebuilt if config.h changes.
64 - The testsuite no longer uses "id -u", so it works better on solaris.
