- - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
- characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
- using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
-
- - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
- some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
- password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
-
- - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
- it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
- really did expect the socket to close).
-
- - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
- back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
- silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
+ that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
+ also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
+ of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
