- - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
- not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
- rsyncd.conf file.
-
- - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
- permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
-
- - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
- basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
- is in effect.
-
- - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
- processing.
-
- - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
- addition to its use in daemon mode).
-
- - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
- processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
- newline.
+ - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
+ daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
+ destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
+ of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
+ --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
+ is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
+ preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
+ the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+
+ - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
+ directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
+ generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should
+ also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from
+ the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client
+ process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was
+ receiving files.)
+
+ - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
+ or --size-only is specified.
