- - If rsync is interrupted via a handled signal (such as SIGINT), it will
- once again clean-up its temp file from the destination dir.
-
- - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
- sanitizes the symlink target strings (by default). This means that each
- symlink's value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink
- info intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, all arg paths and any
- dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are
- manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top
- of the module's path. These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
- same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
- potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the
- module's hierarchy. See also the new "munge symlinks" daemon setting.
-
- - Fixed an overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --link-dest,
- --copy-dest, and --compare-dest options to a daemon without chroot: if
- the copy's destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path,
- these options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references
- (since these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code
- incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
- how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy.
-
- - 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.)
-
- - Fixed a bug in the %f logfile escape when receiving files: the
- destination path is now included in the output (e.g. you can now tell
- when a user specifies a subdir inside a module).
-
- - If the receiving side fails to create a directory, it will now skip
- trying to update everything that is inside that directory.
-
- - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
- is specified.
-
- - If --link-dest is specified with --checksum but without --times, rsync
- will now allow a hard-link to be created to a matching link-dest file
- even when the file's modify-time doesn't match the server's file.
-
- - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
- chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps
- from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone
- over and over again).
-
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option:
- it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used
- to successfully update a destination file.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of --delete-excluded when using a per-dir
- merge file: the merge file is now honored on the receiving side, and
- only its unqualified include/exclude commands are ignored (just as is
- done for global include/excludes).
-
- - Fixed a recent bug where --delete was not working when transferring from
- the root (/) of the filesystem with --relative enabled.
-
- - Fixed a recent bug where an --exclude='*' could affect the root (/) of
- the filesystem with --relative enabled.
-
- - When --inplace creates a file, it is now created with owner read/write
- permissions (0600) instead of no permissions at all. This avoids a
- problem continuing a transfer that was interrupted (since --inplace
- will not update a file that has no write permissions).
-
- - If either --remove-source-files or --remove-sent-files is enabled and we
- are unable to remove the source file, rsync now outputs an error.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
+
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+
+ - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
+ --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
+ destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
+
+ - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
+ error.
+
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
+
+ - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
+ files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
+
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
+
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
+ a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+ - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+ (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+ checksum struct over the wire.
+
+ - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer. This fix also made the exclude
+ check happen in the better place in the sending code.
+
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
+
+ - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
+ offsets.
