-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
+rsync changes since last release
- SECURITY FIXES:
-
- * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
- <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
- careful about reading integers from the network.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
-
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
-
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+ * "make install-strip" works. (Greg Louis)
- * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
+ * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the
+ time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron
+ Simpson)
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ BUG FIXES:
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
- * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
- visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
- rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
- file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+ * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+ Pool.)
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
-
- * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
- Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
+ * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+ for remote connections. (Frank Schulz)
