| 60ef8ed1 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased) |
| 3ae6c187 | 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
| 60ef8ed1 | 3 | Changes since 2.6.8: |
| 36f59b58 | 4 | |
| ac1541f4 WD |
5 | BUG FIXES: |
| 6 | ||
| 5fdbb87d | 7 | - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer |
| 2220ec0a WD |
8 | sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that each symlink's |
| 9 | value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info | |
| 5bc933a2 WD |
10 | intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, all arg paths and any |
| 11 | dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are | |
| 12 | manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top | |
| 13 | of the module's path. These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the | |
| 14 | same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a | |
| 2220ec0a WD |
15 | potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the |
| 16 | module's hierarchy. | |
| 5fdbb87d WD |
17 | |
| 18 | - Fixed a overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --*-dest | |
| 45ba206a | 19 | options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest): if the copy's |
| 5fdbb87d WD |
20 | destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, these |
| 21 | options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references (since | |
| 22 | these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code | |
| 23 | incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter | |
| 45ba206a | 24 | how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy. |
| d8bf7ea8 | 25 | |
| bdac7621 WD |
26 | - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent |
| 27 | directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the | |
| 28 | generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should | |
| 29 | also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from | |
| 30 | the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client | |
| 31 | process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was | |
| 32 | receiving files.) | |
| 8ac47746 | 33 | |
| d8bf7ea8 WD |
34 | - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I |
| 35 | or --size-only is specified. | |
| 08c0cd8a | 36 | |
| 5fdbb87d | 37 | - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a |
| 45ba206a WD |
38 | chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps |
| 39 | from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone | |
| 40 | over and over again). | |
| 5fdbb87d | 41 | |
| 5bc933a2 WD |
42 | - Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option: |
| 43 | it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used | |
| 44 | to successfully update a destination file. | |
| 45 | ||
| ac1541f4 WD |
46 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 47 | ||
| 6721973e WD |
48 | - Added the --log-file=FILE option that can be used to tell any rsync to |
| 49 | output what it is doing to a log file. This works with a client rsync, a | |
| 50 | non-daemon server rsync (see the man page for instructions), and also | |
| 51 | allows the overriding of the rsyncd.conf setting when starting a daemon. | |

53 | DEVELOPER RELATED: |
| 54 | ||
| d8bf7ea8 WD |
55 | - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to |
| 56 | make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution. | |
| 57 | ||
| 60ef8ed1 | 58 | - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version. |
| d8bf7ea8 WD |
59 | |
| 60 | - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have | |
| 61 | consistent opening comments. |
