3 SECURITY FIXES:
4
5 * (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
6
7 * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
8 process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
9 #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
10
11 BUG FIXES:
12
13 * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
14 unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
15 and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
16
17 * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
18 "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
19
20 * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
21 on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
22
23 * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
24 unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
25
26 * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
27 slash.

29 ENHANCEMENTS:
30
31 * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that
32 rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
33 against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
34
35 * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
36 than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
37 what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
38 to parse the output.
39
40 * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
41
42 * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
43 and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
44
45 * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
46 print an error message. (Colin Walters)
