Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.5:
+ SECURITY FIXES:
+
+ - Applied a zlib fix to block a buffer overflow in the decompression
+ code. Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse
+ the --compress option.
+
BUG FIXES:
- The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
(e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
- combined with --list-dest).
+ combined with --link-dest).
- The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
- without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
+ without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
totally unchanged items).
- When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
- item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
+ item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
+
+ - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
+ time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
+
+ - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
+ unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
+ directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
+ ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
+ destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
+
+ - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+ we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+ hostspec as a filename.
ENHANCEMENTS:
also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
+ - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix
+ mentioned above).
+
BUILD CHANGES:
