1 | rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002) |
2 | ||
3 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
4 | ||
5 | * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer | |
6 | <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently | |
7 | careful about reading integers from the network. | |
8 | ||
9 | BUG FIXES: | |
10 | ||
11 | * Fix possible string mangling in log files. | |
12 | ||
13 | * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. | |
14 | ||
15 | * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with | |
16 | 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. | |
17 | ||
18 | * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved. | |
19 | ||
20 | * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135) | |
21 | ||
22 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
23 | ||
24 | * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh | |
25 | connection. | |
26 | ||
27 | * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that | |
28 | support mallinfo(). | |
29 | ||
30 | * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress | |
31 | visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, | |
32 | rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the | |
33 | file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) | |
34 | ||
35 | * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental | |
36 | but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) | |
37 | ||
38 | * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with | |
39 | Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286) | |

41 | rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03) |
42 | ||
43 | BUG FIXES: | |
44 | ||
45 | * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul | |
46 | Mackerras) | |
47 | ||
48 | * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. | |
49 | (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun" | |
50 | Hagino) | |
51 | ||
52 | * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra) | |
53 | ||
54 | * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai) | |
55 | ||
56 | * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt) | |
57 | ||
58 | * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward | |
59 | Welbourne) | |
60 | ||
61 | * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik) | |
62 | ||
63 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
64 | ||
65 | * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a | |
66 | multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik | |
67 | Faith) | |
68 | ||
69 | * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also | |
70 | useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a | |
71 | debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus) | |
72 | ||
73 | * Clearer error messages for some conditions. | |

75 | rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30) |
76 | ||
77 | ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
78 | ||
79 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. | |
80 | ||
81 | NEW FEATURES | |
82 | ||
83 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> | |
84 | ||
85 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. | |
86 | ||
87 | * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch | |
88 | sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos | |
89 | Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html> | |
90 | ||
91 | * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems | |
92 | including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also | |
93 | includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the | |
94 | Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH | |
95 | portability project, and OpenBSD. | |
96 | ||
97 | ENHANCEMENTS | |
98 | ||
99 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
100 | included or excluded and why. | |
101 | ||
102 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
103 | details. | |
104 | ||
105 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
106 | ||
107 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
108 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
109 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
110 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
111 | ||
112 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
113 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
114 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
115 | installed on the platform. | |
116 | ||
117 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
118 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
119 | ||
120 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
121 | ||
122 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
123 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
124 | ||
125 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
126 | local machine. | |
127 | ||
128 | BUG FIXES: | |
129 | ||
130 | * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang. | |
131 | ||
132 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
133 | ||
134 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
135 | ||
136 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
137 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
138 | ||
139 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might | |
140 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an | |
141 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) | |
142 | ||
143 | PLATFORMS: | |
144 | ||
145 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
146 | ||
147 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
148 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
