2 | ||
3 | "Imitation lizard skin" | |
4 | ||
5 | BUG FIXES: | |
6 | ||
7 | * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug. (Martin Pool, Andrew | |
8 | Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059) | |
9 | ||
10 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
11 | ||
12 | * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4. (Jos Backus) | |
13 | (Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can | |
14 | not just link against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) | |
15 | ||
16 | * Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool) | |

21 | "Happy 26" | |
22 | ||
23 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
24 | ||
25 | * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server | |
26 | process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug | |
27 | #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080) | |
28 | ||
29 | BUG FIXES: | |
30 | ||
31 | * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE | |
32 | CAN-2002-0059) | |
33 | ||
34 | * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message | |
35 | unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr | |
36 | and resulted in the wrong data being copied. | |
37 | ||
38 | * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of | |
39 | "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. | |
40 | ||
41 | * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc | |
42 | on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". | |
43 | ||
44 | * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client | |
45 | unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) | |
46 | ||
47 | * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing | |
48 | slash. | |
49 | ||
50 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
51 | ||
52 | * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that | |
53 | rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link | |
54 | against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) | |

56 | * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather |
57 | than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to | |
58 | what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try | |
59 | to parse the output. | |
60 | ||
61 | * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) | |
62 | ||
63 | * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work | |
64 | and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) | |
65 | ||
66 | * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, | |
67 | print an error message. (Colin Walters) | |

69 | rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002) |
70 | ||
71 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
72 | ||
73 | * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer | |
74 | <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently | |
75 | careful about reading integers from the network. | |
76 | ||
77 | BUG FIXES: | |
78 | ||
79 | * Fix possible string mangling in log files. | |
80 | ||
81 | * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. | |
82 | ||
83 | * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with | |
84 | 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. | |
85 | ||
86 | * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved. | |
87 | ||
88 | * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135) | |
89 | ||
90 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
91 | ||
92 | * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh | |
93 | connection. | |
94 | ||
95 | * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that | |
96 | support mallinfo(). | |
97 | ||
98 | * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress | |
99 | visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, | |
100 | rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the | |
101 | file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) | |
102 | ||
103 | * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental | |
104 | but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) | |
105 | ||
106 | * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with | |
107 | Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286) | |
108 | ||

109 | rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03) |
110 | ||
111 | BUG FIXES: | |
112 | ||
113 | * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul | |
114 | Mackerras) | |
115 | ||
116 | * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. | |
117 | (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun" | |
118 | Hagino) | |
119 | ||
120 | * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra) | |
121 | ||
122 | * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai) | |
123 | ||
124 | * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt) | |
125 | ||
126 | * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward | |
127 | Welbourne) | |
128 | ||
129 | * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik) | |
130 | ||
131 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
132 | ||
133 | * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a | |
134 | multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik | |
135 | Faith) | |
136 | ||
137 | * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also | |
138 | useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a | |
139 | debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus) | |
140 | ||
141 | * Clearer error messages for some conditions. | |

144 | rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30) |
145 | ||
146 | ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
147 | ||
148 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. | |
149 | ||
150 | NEW FEATURES | |
151 | ||
152 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> | |
153 | ||
154 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. | |
155 | ||
156 | * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch | |
157 | sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos | |
158 | Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html> | |
159 | ||
160 | * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems | |
161 | including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also | |
162 | includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the | |
163 | Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH | |
164 | portability project, and OpenBSD. | |
165 | ||
166 | ENHANCEMENTS | |
167 | ||
168 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
169 | included or excluded and why. | |
170 | ||
171 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
172 | details. | |
173 | ||
174 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
175 | ||
176 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
177 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
178 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
179 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
180 | ||
181 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
182 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
183 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
184 | installed on the platform. | |
185 | ||
186 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
187 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
188 | ||
189 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
190 | ||
191 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
192 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
193 | ||
194 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
195 | local machine. | |
196 | ||
197 | BUG FIXES: | |
198 | ||
199 | * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang. | |
200 | ||
201 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
202 | ||
203 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
204 | ||
205 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
206 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
207 | ||
208 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might | |
209 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an | |
210 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) | |
211 | ||
212 | PLATFORMS: | |
213 | ||
214 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
215 | ||
216 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
217 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
218 | ||
