NEWS for rsync 3.1.1 (22 Jun 2014) |
| |
Protocol: 31 (unchanged) |
| |
Changes since 3.1.0: |
| |
|
| |
BUG FIXES: |
| |
|
| |
- If the receiver gets bogus filenames from the sender (an unexpected |
| |
leading slash or a ".." infix dir), exit with an error. This prevents a |
| |
malicious sender from trying to inject filenames that would affect an |
| |
area outside the destination directories. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a failure to remove the partial-transfer temp file when interrupted |
| |
(and rsync is not saving the partial files). |
| |
|
| |
- Changed the chown/group/xattr-set order to avoid losing some security- |
| |
related xattr info (that would get cleared by a chown). |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug in the xattr-finding code that could make a non-root-run |
| |
receiver not able to find some xattr numbers. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug in the early daemon protocol where a timeout failed to be |
| |
honored (e.g. if the remote side fails to send us the initial protocol |
| |
greeting). |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed unintended inclusion of commas in file numbers in the daemon log. |
| |
|
| |
- We once again send the 'f' sub-flag (of -e) to the server side so it |
| |
knows that we can handle incremental-recursion directory errors properly |
| |
in older protocols. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed an issue with too-aggressive keep-alive messages causing a problem |
| |
for older rsync versions early in the transfer. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed an incorrect message about backup-directory-creation when using |
| |
--dry-run and the backup dir is not an absolute path. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug where a failed deletion and/or a failed sender-side removal |
| |
would not affect the exit code. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug that caused a failure when combining --delete-missing-args |
| |
with --xattrs and/or --acls. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a strange dir_depth assertion error that was caused by empty-dir |
| |
removals and/or duplicate files in the transfer. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a problem with --info=progress2's output stats where rsync would |
| |
only update the stats at the end of each file's transfer. It now uses |
| |
the data that is flowing for the current file, making the stats more |
| |
accurate and less jumpy. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed an itemize bug that affected the combo of --link-dest, -X, and -n. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a problem with delete messages not appearing in the log file when |
| |
the user didn't use --verbose. |
| |
|
| |
- Improve chunked xattr reading for OS X. |
| |
|
| |
- Removed an attempted hard-link xattr optimization that was causing a |
| |
transfer failure. This removal is flagged in the compatibility code, so |
| |
if a better fix can be discovered, we have a way to flip it on again. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug when the receiver is not configured to be able to hard link |
| |
symlimks/devices/special-file items but the sender sent some of these |
| |
items flagged as hard-linked. |
| |
|
| |
- We now generate a better error if the buffer overflows in do_mknod(). |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a problem reading more than 16 ACLs on some OSes. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed the reading of the secrets file to avoid an infinite wait when |
| |
the username is missing. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a parsing problem in the --usermap/--groupmap options when using |
| |
MIN-MAX numbers. |
| |
|
| |
- Switched Cygwin back to using socketpair "pipes" to try to speed it up. |
| |
|
| |
- Added knowledge of a few new options to rrsync. |
| |
|
| |
ENHANCEMENTS: |
| |
|
| |
- Tweaked the temp-file naming when --temp-dir=DIR is used: the temp-file |
| |
names will not get a '.' prepended. |
| |
|
| |
- Added support for a new-compression idiom that does not compress all the |
| |
matching data in a transfer. This can help rsync to use less cpu when a |
| |
transfer has a lot of matching data, and also makes rsync compatible with |
| |
a non-bundled zlib. See the --new-compress and --old-compress options in |
| |
the manpage. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the support/rsync-no-vanished wrapper script. |
| |
|
| |
- Made configure more prominently mention when we failed to find yodl (in |
| |
case the user wants to be able to generate manpages from *.yo files). |
| |
|
| |
- Have manpage mention how a daemon's max-verbosity setting affects info |
| |
and debug options. Also added more clarification on backslash removals |
| |
for excludes that contain wildcards. |
| |
|
| |
- Have configure check if for the attr lib (for getxattr) for those systems |
| |
that need to link against it explicitly. |
| |
|
| |
- Change the early dir-creation logic to only use that idiom in an |
| |
inc-recursive copy that is preserving directory times. e.g. using |
| |
--omit-dir-times will avoid these early directories being created. |
| |
|
| |
- Fix a bug in cmp_time() that would return a wrong result if the 2 times |
| |
differed by an amount greater than what a time_t can hold. |
| |
|
| |
DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| |
|
| |
- We now include an example systemd file (in packaging/systemd). |
| |
|
| |
- Tweaked configure to make sure that any intended use of the included popt |
| |
and/or zlib code is put early in the CFLAGS. |
| |
|
| |
NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (28 Sep 2013) |
| |
Protocol: 31 (changed) |
| |
Changes since 3.0.9: |
| |
|
| |
OUTPUT CHANGES: |
| |
|
| |
- Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the |
| |
--human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's |
| |
"log format" parameter and related command-line options (including |
| |
--out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping |
| |
or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is |
| |
unchanged by default.) |
| |
|
| |
- The --list-only option is now affected by the --human-readable setting. |
| |
It will display digit groupings by default, and unit suffixes if higher |
| |
levels of readability are requested. Also, the column width for the size |
| |
output has increased from 11 to 14 characters when human readability is |
| |
enabled. Use --no-h to get the old-style output and column size. |
| |
|
| |
- The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was |
| |
shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk", |
| |
both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file |
| |
size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when |
| |
incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used |
| |
instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done, |
| |
letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still |
| |
be increasing as new files are found. |
| |
|
| |
- Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created |
| |
(protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (a new line |
| |
for protocol 31, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to |
| |
follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount |
| |
list that shows the counts by type. The wording of the transferred count |
| |
has also changed so that it is clearer that it is only a count of regular |
| |
files. |
| |
|
| |
BUG FIXES: |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug in the iconv code when EINVAL or EILSEQ is returned with a |
| |
full output buffer. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte |
| |
character to get translated incorrectly. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bogus "vanished file" error if some files were specified with |
| |
"./" prefixes and others were not. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a bug in --sparse where an extra gap could get inserted after a |
| |
partial write. |
| |
|
| |
- Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make |
| |
it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. |
| |
|
| |
- Improved the propagation of abnormal-exit error messages. This should |
| |
help the client side to receive errors from the server when it is exiting |
| |
abnormally, and should also avoid dying with an "connection unexpectedly |
| |
closed" exit when the closed connection is really expected. |
| |
|
| |
- The sender now checks each file it plans to remove to ensure that it |
| |
hasn't changed from the first stat's info. This helps to avoid losing |
| |
file data when the user is not using the option in a safe manner. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed a data-duplication bug in the compress option that made compression |
| |
less efficient. This improves protocol 31 onward, while behaving in a |
| |
compatible (buggy) manner with older rsync protocols. |
| |
|
| |
- When creating a temp-file, rsync is now a bit smarter about it dot-char |
| |
choices, which can fix a problem on OS X with names that start with "..". |
| |
|
| |
- Rsync now sets a cleanup flag for --inplace and --append transfers that |
| |
will flush the write buffer if the transfer aborts. This ensures that |
| |
more received data gets written out to the disk on an aborted transfer |
| |
(which is quite helpful on a slow, flaky connection). |
| |
|
| |
- The reads that map_ptr() now does are aligned on 1K boundaries. This |
| |
helps some filesystems and/or files that don't like unaligned reads. |
| |
|
| |
- Fix an issue in the msleep() function if time jumps backwards. |
| |
|
| |
- Fix daemon-server module-name splitting bug where an arg would get split |
| |
even if --protect-args was used. |
| |
|
| |
ENHANCEMENTS: |
| |
|
| |
- Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful |
| |
for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained |
| |
control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output |
| |
using --info=progress2. |
| |
|
| |
- The --msgs2stderr option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the |
| |
debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket |
| |
protocol. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the --delete-missing-args and --ignore-missing-args options to |
| |
either delete or ignore user-specified files on the receiver that are |
| |
missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-specified files |
| |
generates an error). |
| |
|
| |
- Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file |
| |
ownership during the copy. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the |
| |
MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was |
| |
specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect). |
| |
|
| |
- Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to |
| |
allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled. |
| |
|
| |
- Added a forward-DNS lookup for the daemon's hosts allow/deny config. Can |
| |
be disabled via "forward lookup" parameter (defaults to enabled). |
| |
|
| |
- Added a way for more than one group to be specified in the daemon's |
| |
config file, including a way to specify that you want all of the |
| |
specified user's groups without having to name them. Also changed the |
| |
daemon to complain about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid |
| |
values, even when not run by a super-user. |
| |
|
| |
- The daemon now tries to send the user the error messages from the |
| |
pre-xfer exec script when it fails. |
| |
|
| |
- Improved the use of alt-dest options into an existing hierarchy of files: |
| |
If a match is found in an alt-dir, it takes precedence over an existing |
| |
file. (We'll need to wait for a future version before attribute-changes |
| |
on otherwise unchanged files are safe when using an existing hierarchy.) |
| |
|
| |
- Added per-user authorization options and group-authorization support to |
| |
the daemon's "auth users" parameter. |
| |
|
| |
- Added a way to reference environment variables in a daemon's config file |
| |
(using %VAR% references). |
| |
|
| |
- When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file, |
| |
the update should now be done in an atomic manner. |
| |
|
| |
- Avoid re-sending xattr info for hard-linked files w/the same xattrs |
| |
(protocol 31). |
| |
|
| |
- The backup code was improved to use better logic maintaining the backup |
| |
directory hierarchy. Also, when a file is being backed up, rsync tries |
| |
to hard-link it into place so that the upcoming replacement of the |
| |
destination file will be atomic (for the normal, non-inplace logic). |
| |
|
| |
- Added the ability to synchronize nano-second modified times. |
| |
|
| |
- Added a few more default suffixes for the "dont compress" settings. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the checking of the RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS environment variable to allow |
| |
the default for the --protect-args command-line option to be overridden. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the --preallocate command-line option. |
| |
|
| |
- Allow --password-file=- to read the password from stdin (filename "-"). |
| |
|
| |
- Rsync now comes packaged with an rsync-ssl helper script that can be |
| |
used to contact a remote rsync daemon using a piped-stunnel command. |
| |
It also includes an stunnel config file to run the server side to |
| |
support ssl daemon connections. See the packaging/lsb/rsync.spec |
| |
file for one way to package the resulting files. (Suggestions for |
| |
how to make this even easier to install & use are welcomed.) |
| |
|
| |
- Improved the speed of some --inplace updates when there are lots of |
| |
identical checksum blocks that end up being unusable. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the --outbuf=N|L|B option for choosing the output buffering. |
| |
|
| |
- Repeating the --fuzzy option now causes the code to look for fuzzy |
| |
matches inside alt-dest directories too. |
| |
|
| |
- The --chmod option now supports numeric modes, e.g. --chmod=644,D755 |
| |
|
| |
- Added some Solaris xattr code. |
| |
|
| |
- Made an rsync daemon (the listening process) exit with a 0 status when |
| |
it was signaled to die. This helps launchd. |
| |
|
| |
- Improved the RSYNC_* environment variables for the pre-xfer exec script: |
| |
when a daemon is sent multiple request args, they are now joined into a |
| |
single return value (separated by spaces) so that the RSYNC_REQUEST |
| |
environment variable is accurate for any "pre-xfer exec". The values in |
| |
RSYNC_ARG# vars are no longer truncated at the "." arg (prior to the |
| |
request dirs/files), so that all the requested values are also listed |
| |
(separately) in RSYNC_ARG# variables. |
| |
|
| |
EXTRAS: |
| |
|
| |
- Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes |
| |
it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. |
| |
|
| |
- Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which |
| |
makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on |
| |
passwd/group files from another machine. |
| |
|
| |
- There's a new, improved version of the lsh script in the support dir: |
| |
it's written in perl and supports -u without resorting to using sudo |
| |
(when run as root). The old shell version is now named lsh.sh. |
| |
|
| |
- There is a helper script named rsync-slash-strip in the support directory |
| |
for anyone that wants to change the way rsync handles args with trailing |
| |
slashes. (e.g. arg/ would get stripped to arg while arg/. would turn into |
| |
arg/). |
| |
|
| |
INTERNAL: |
| |
|
| |
- The I/O code was rewritten to be simpler and do bigger buffered reads |
| |
over the socket. The I/O between the receiver and the generator was |
| |
changed to be standard multiplexed-I/O (like that over the socket). |
| |
|
| |
- The sender tries to use any dead time while the generator is looking for |
| |
files to transfer in order to do sender-side directory scanning in a more |
| |
parallel manner. |
| |
|
| |
- A daemon can now inform a client about a daemon-configured timeout value |
| |
so that the client can assist in the keep-alive activity (protocol 31). |
| |
|
| |
- The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendible, to |
| |
read better, and do better sanity checking. |
| |
|
| |
- Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather |
| |
than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. |
| |
|
| |
- The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment |
| |
handling. |
| |
|
| |
- Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code. |
| |
|
| |
- The included zlib was upgraded from 1.2.3 to 1.2.8. |
| |
|
| |
- Rsync can now be compiled to use an unmodified zlib library instead of |
| |
the tweaked one that is included with rsync. This will eventually |
| |
become the default, at which point we'll start the countdown to removing |
| |
the included zlib. Until then, feel free to configure using: |
| |
|
| |
./configure --with-included-zlib=no |
| |
|
| |
DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| |
|
| |
- Added more conditional debug output. |
| |
|
| |
- Fixed some build issues for android and minix. |
