NEWS for rsync 3.0.7 (31 Dec 2009) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.6: BUG FIXES: - Fixed a bogus free when using --xattrs with --backup. - Avoid an error when --dry-run was trying to stat a prior hard-link file that hasn't really been created. - Fixed a problem with --compress (-z) where the receiving side could return the error "inflate (token) returned -5". - Fixed a bug where --delete-during could delete in a directory before it noticed that the sending side sent an I/O error for that directory (both sides of the transfer must be at least 3.0.7). - Improved --skip-compress's error handling of bad character-sets and got rid of a lingering debug fprintf(). - Fixed the daemon's conveyance of io_error value from the sender. - An rsync daemon use seteuid() (when available) if it used setuid(). - Get the permissions right on a --fake-super transferred directory that needs more owner permissions to emulate root behavior. - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync. - Improved the "--delete does not work without -r or -d" message. - Improved rsync's handling of --timeout to avoid a weird timeout case where the sender could timeout even though it has recently written data to the socket (but hasn't read data recently, due to the writing). - Some misc manpage improvements. - Fixed the chmod-temp-dir testsuite on a system without /var/tmp. - Make sure that a timeout specified in the daemon's config is used as a maximum timeout value when the user also specifies a timeout. - Improved the error-exit reporting when rsync gets an error trying to cleanup after an error: the initial error is reported. - Improved configure's detection of IPv6 for solaris and cygwin. - The AIX sysacls routines will now return ENOSYS if ENOTSUP is missing. - Made our (only used if missing) getaddrinfo() routine use inet_pton() (which we also provide) instead of inet_aton(). - The exit-related debug messages now mention the program's role so it is clear who output what message. DEVELOPER RELATED: - Got rid of type-punned compiler warnings output by newer gcc versions. - The Makefile now ensures that proto.h will be rebuilt if config.h changes. - The testsuite no longer uses "id -u", so it works better on solaris.
