Op de website van Samba is op de laatste dag van 2009 rsync 3.0.7 verschenen. Dit programma voorziet in een snelle manier om bestanden geheel of gedeeltelijk tussen verschillende servers en locaties te synchroniseren. Het wordt dan ook veel toegepast op de achtergrond in allerlei synchronisatieprogramma's, maar kan ook bijvoorbeeld voor de offsite-backup van fileservers gebruikt worden. Wie meer wil weten, kan de beschikbare documentatie doorlezen, waarin ook een aantal tutorials staan vermeld. De aankondiging is op deze pagina na te lezen en de lijst met aanpassingen ziet er als volgt uit:
Bug fixes:Developer related:
- 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.
- 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.
