1 | rsync 2.5.5 "Snowy River" (2 April 2002) |
2 | ||
3 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
4 | ||
5 | * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken; | |
6 | otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson) | |
7 | ||
8 | * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install" | |
9 | accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages. | |
10 | (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis) | |
11 | ||
12 | * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of | |
13 | a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb, | |
14 | similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy. | |
15 | (Martin Pool) | |
16 | ||
17 | ||
18 | BUG FIXES: | |
19 | ||
20 | * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process | |
21 | slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the | |
22 | current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool) | |
23 | ||
24 | * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool) | |
25 | ||
26 | * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin | |
27 | Pool.) | |
28 | ||
29 | * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even | |
30 | for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz) | |
31 | ||
32 | * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle | |
33 | trailing slashes. | |
34 | <http://www.opensource.apple.com/bugs/X/BSD%20Kernel/2734739.html> | |
35 | (Martin Pool) | |
36 | ||
37 | * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods) | |

40 | rsync 2.5.4 (13 March 2002) |
41 | ||
42 | "Imitation lizard skin" | |
43 | ||
44 | BUG FIXES: | |
45 | ||
46 | * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug. (Martin Pool, Andrew | |
47 | Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059) | |
48 | ||
49 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
50 | ||
51 | * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4. (Jos Backus) | |
52 | (Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can | |
53 | not just link against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) | |
54 | ||
55 | * Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool) | |

58 | rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002) |
59 | ||
60 | "Happy 26" | |
61 | ||
62 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
63 | ||
64 | * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server | |
65 | process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug | |
66 | #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080) | |
67 | ||
68 | BUG FIXES: | |
69 | ||
70 | * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE | |
71 | CAN-2002-0059) | |
72 | ||
73 | * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message | |
74 | unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr | |
75 | and resulted in the wrong data being copied. | |
76 | ||
77 | * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of | |
78 | "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. | |
79 | ||
80 | * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc | |
81 | on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". | |
82 | ||
83 | * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client | |
84 | unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) | |
85 | ||
86 | * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing | |
87 | slash. | |
88 | ||
89 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
90 | ||
91 | * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that | |
92 | rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link | |
93 | against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) | |

95 | * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather |
96 | than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to | |
97 | what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try | |
98 | to parse the output. | |
99 | ||
100 | * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) | |
101 | ||
102 | * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work | |
103 | and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) | |
104 | ||
105 | * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, | |
106 | print an error message. (Colin Walters) | |
107 | ||

108 | rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002) |
109 | ||
110 | SECURITY FIXES: | |
111 | ||
112 | * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer | |
113 | <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently | |
114 | careful about reading integers from the network. | |
115 | ||
116 | BUG FIXES: | |
117 | ||
118 | * Fix possible string mangling in log files. | |
119 | ||
120 | * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. | |
121 | ||
122 | * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with | |
123 | 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. | |
124 | ||
125 | * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved. | |
126 | ||
127 | * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135) | |
128 | ||
129 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
130 | ||
131 | * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh | |
132 | connection. | |
133 | ||
134 | * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that | |
135 | support mallinfo(). | |
136 | ||
137 | * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress | |
138 | visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, | |
139 | rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the | |
140 | file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) | |
141 | ||
142 | * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental | |
143 | but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) | |
144 | ||
145 | * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with | |
146 | Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286) | |

148 | rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03) |
149 | ||
150 | BUG FIXES: | |
151 | ||
152 | * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul | |
153 | Mackerras) | |
154 | ||
155 | * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. | |
156 | (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun" | |
157 | Hagino) | |
158 | ||
159 | * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra) | |
160 | ||
161 | * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai) | |
162 | ||
163 | * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt) | |
164 | ||
165 | * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward | |
166 | Welbourne) | |
167 | ||
168 | * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik) | |
169 | ||
170 | ENHANCEMENTS: | |
171 | ||
172 | * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a | |
173 | multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik | |
174 | Faith) | |
175 | ||
176 | * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also | |
177 | useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a | |
178 | debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus) | |
179 | ||
180 | * Clearer error messages for some conditions. | |

183 | rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30) |
184 | ||
185 | ANNOUNCEMENTS | |
186 | ||
187 | * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer. | |
188 | ||
189 | NEW FEATURES | |
190 | ||
191 | * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/> | |
192 | ||
193 | * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. | |
194 | ||
195 | * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch | |
196 | sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos | |
197 | Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html> | |
198 | ||
199 | * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems | |
200 | including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also | |
201 | includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the | |
202 | Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH | |
203 | portability project, and OpenBSD. | |
204 | ||
205 | ENHANCEMENTS | |
206 | ||
207 | * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are | |
208 | included or excluded and why. | |
209 | ||
210 | * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more | |
211 | details. | |
212 | ||
213 | * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. | |
214 | ||
215 | * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log | |
216 | file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is | |
217 | open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log | |
218 | file to get cleaned out by another process. | |
219 | ||
220 | * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing | |
221 | options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more | |
222 | consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not | |
223 | installed on the platform. | |
224 | ||
225 | * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit | |
226 | files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. | |
227 | ||
228 | * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. | |
229 | ||
230 | * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, | |
231 | explain that we do it in a secure way. | |
232 | ||
233 | * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the | |
234 | local machine. | |
235 | ||
236 | BUG FIXES: | |
237 | ||
238 | * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang. | |
239 | ||
240 | * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. | |
241 | ||
242 | * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. | |
243 | ||
244 | * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked | |
245 | to transfer fail to transfer | |
246 | ||
247 | * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might | |
248 | overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an | |
249 | ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.) | |
250 | ||
251 | PLATFORMS: | |
252 | ||
253 | * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1) | |
254 | ||
255 | * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf | |
256 | scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync. | |
257 | ||
