includes quite a few bug fixes.

The 3.0.0 version number is such a large bump up from 2.6.9 due to the addition

the official arrival of several other new features, including ACL support,
extended attribute support, filename character-set conversion, etc.

See the 3.0.0 NEWS for a detailed changelog.

of rsync, but some packagers include it in their release).

See the 2.6.8 NEWS for a detailed changelog.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rsync version 2.6.6 has been released. This release is a bug-fix release which
contains a security fix to handle a null-pointer bug that turned up in rsync's
version of zlib 1.1.4 (this is not the recent zlib 1.2.2 security fix, which did
not affect rsync) and to squash a few other minor bugs. To deal with the zlib
issue, rsync has been upgraded to include zlib 1.2.3.

See the 2.6.6 NEWS for a detailed changelog.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


RSYNC 2.6.2 RELEASED

April 30th, 2004

Rsync version 2.6.2 has been released. It is a bug-fix release that mainly fixes
a bug with the --relative option (-R) in 2.6.1 that could cause files to be
transferred incorrectly. This only affected a source right at the root of the
filesystem, such as "/" or "/*" (if you first "cd /" and then copy from ".", it
would not tickle the bug).

See the 2.6.2 NEWS for a detailed changelog.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


RSYNC 2.6.1 RELEASED

April 26th, 2004

Rsync version 2.6.1 has been released. It is primarily a performance release
that requires less memory to run, makes fewer write calls to the socket
(lowering the system CPU time), does less string copying (lowering the user CPU
time), and also reduces the amount of data that is transmitted over the wire.
There have also been quite a few bug fixes, including a security fix for a
daemon problem when chroot is not enabled. See the 2.6.1 NEWS for a detailed
changelog.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ONE CYGWIN HANG-PROBLEM RESOLVED

The problem with rsync hanging at the end of the transfer on Cygwin had been
previously traced to a signal-handling bug in their compatibility DLL. This bug
appears to now be fixed in DLL version 1.5.7-1, and Cygwin users are reporting
that upgrading the DLL removes the hang-at-end-of-transfer problem for their
existing rsync executable. (Note that this doesn't solve a hang that some folks
see in the middle of a transfer -- using daemon mode instead of ssh can work
around that one.)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


RSYNC 2.6.0 RELEASED

January 1st, 2004

Two important things to note in the new release:

 1. The default remote shell is now "ssh" unless you tell configure you want to
    make something else the default.
 2. Some bug fixes in the include/exclude code, while making things work
    properly, have resulted in some user-visible changes for certain wildcard
    strings. Read the BUG FIXES section in the 2.6.0 NEWS to see if any of these
    changes apply to you. (Most people should be unaffected.)

One other item of note is that the oft-requested option "--files-from" is now
available. This option lets you specify a list of files to transfer, and can be
much more efficient than a recursive descent using include/exclude statements
(if you know in advance what files you want to transfer). The list of files can
come from either side of the connection, so it is possible for a server to
provide the file-list that lets someone grab a server-specified set of files,
for example. See the rsync man page for more details.

See the 2.6.0 NEWS for a detailed changelog.
