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. | |
