| 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased) |
| 2 | Protocol: 29 (unchanged) |
| 3 | Changes since 2.6.8: |
| 4 | |
| 5 | BUG FIXES: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync |
| 8 | daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the |
| 9 | destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value |
| 10 | of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest, |
| 11 | --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir |
| 12 | is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of |
| 13 | preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use |
| 14 | the age-old --safe-links for that behavior). |
| 15 | |
| 16 | - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I |
| 17 | or --size-only is specified. |
