| 1 | rsync 2.5.2 (???) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | SECURITY FIXES: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer |
| 6 | <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently |
| 7 | careful about reading integers from the network. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | BUG FIXES: |
| 10 | |
| 11 | * Fix possible string mangling in log files. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with |
| 16 | 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | ENHANCEMENTS: |
| 23 | |
| 24 | * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh |
| 25 | connection. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that |
| 28 | support mallinfo(). |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress |
| 31 | visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, |
| 32 | rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the |
| 33 | file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental |
| 36 | but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus) |
| 37 | |
| 38 | * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with |
| 39 | Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286) |
