1 | rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002) |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | "Happy 26" | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server | |
| 8 | process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug | |
| 9 | #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080) | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE | |
| 14 | CAN-2002-0059) | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message | |
| 17 | unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr | |
| 18 | and resulted in the wrong data being copied. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of | |
| 21 | "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc | |
| 24 | on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". | |
| 25 | ||
| 26 | * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client | |
| 27 | unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing | |
| 30 | slash. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that | |
| 35 | rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link | |
| 36 | against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather | |
| 39 | than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to | |
| 40 | what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try | |
| 41 | to parse the output. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work | |
| 46 | and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, | |
| 49 | print an error message. (Colin Walters) | |
| 50 | ||

51 | rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002) |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer | |
| 56 | <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently | |
| 57 | careful about reading integers from the network. | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | * Fix possible string mangling in log files. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with | |
| 66 | 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. | |
| 67 | ||
| 68 | * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved. | |
| 69 | ||
| 70 | * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135) | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh | |
| 75 | connection. | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that | |
| 78 | support mallinfo(). | |
| 79 | ||
| 80 | * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress | |
| 81 | visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, | |
| 82 | rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the | |
| 83 | file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) | |
| 84 | ||
| 85 | * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental | |
| 86 | but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with | |
| 89 | Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286) | |
| 90 | ||
| 499957d9 MP |
91 | rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03) |
| 92 | ||
| 93 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 94 | ||
| 95 | * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul | |
| 96 | Mackerras) | |
| 97 | ||
| 98 | * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. | |
| 99 | (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun" | |
| 100 | Hagino) | |
| 101 | ||
| 102 | * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra) | |
| 103 | ||
| 104 | * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai) | |
| 105 | ||
| 106 | * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt) | |
| 107 | ||
| 108 | * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward | |
| 109 | Welbourne) | |
| 110 | ||
| 111 | * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik) | |
| 112 | ||
| 113 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
| 114 | ||
| 115 | * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a | |
| 116 | multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik | |
| 117 | Faith) | |
| 118 | ||
| 119 | * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also | |
| 120 | useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a | |
| 121 | debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus) | |
| 122 | ||
| 123 | * Clearer error messages for some conditions. | |

125 | rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30) |
| 126 | ||
| 127 | ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
| 128 | ||
| 129 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. | |
| 130 | ||
| 131 | NEW FEATURES | |
| 132 | ||
| 133 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> | |
| 134 | ||
| 135 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. | |
| 136 | ||
| 137 | * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch | |
| 138 | sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos | |
| 139 | Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html> | |
| 140 | ||
| 141 | * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems | |
| 142 | including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also | |
| 143 | includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the | |
| 144 | Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH | |
| 145 | portability project, and OpenBSD. | |
| 146 | ||
| 147 | ENHANCEMENTS | |
| 148 | ||
| 149 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
| 150 | included or excluded and why. | |
| 151 | ||
| 152 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
| 153 | details. | |
| 154 | ||
| 155 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
| 156 | ||
| 157 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
| 158 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
| 159 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
| 160 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
| 161 | ||
| 162 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
| 163 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
| 164 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
| 165 | installed on the platform. | |
| 166 | ||
| 167 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
| 168 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
| 169 | ||
| 170 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
| 171 | ||
| 172 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
| 173 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
| 174 | ||
| 175 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
| 176 | local machine. | |
| 177 | ||
| 178 | BUG FIXES: | |
| 179 | ||
| 180 | * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang. | |
| 181 | ||
| 182 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
| 183 | ||
| 184 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
| 185 | ||
| 186 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
| 187 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
| 188 | ||
| 189 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might | |
| 190 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an | |
| 191 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) | |
| 192 | ||
| 193 | PLATFORMS: | |
| 194 | ||
| 195 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
| 196 | ||
| 197 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
| 198 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
| 199 | ||
