| 1 | rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet) |
| 2 | |
| 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) |
