-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+
+ SECURITY FIXES:
+
+ * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+ process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
+ #132272)
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
+ unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
+ and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+
+ * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+ "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+
+ * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+ on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+
+ * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
+ unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+
+ * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
+ slash.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. Based
- on a patch by Rik Faith.
+ * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
+ than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
+ what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
+ to parse the output.
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai
+ * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
- * Fix for segfault in rsyncd.conf parser by Paul Mackerras
+ * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+ and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
- * Test suite typo fixes Tom Schmidt
+ * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+ print an error message. (Colin Walters)
