3 SECURITY FIXES:
4
5 * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
6 process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
7 #132272)
8
9 BUG FIXES:
10
11 * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
12 unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
13 and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
14
15 * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
16 "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
17
18 * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
19 on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
20
21 * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
22 unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
23
24 * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
25 slash.
26
27 ENHANCEMENTS:
28
29 * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
30 than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
31 what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
32 to parse the output.
33
34 * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
35
36 * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
37 and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
38
39 * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
40 print an error message. (Colin Walters)
