-NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.6:
+Changes since 2.6.8:
BUG FIXES:
- - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+ - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
+ daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
+ destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
+ of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
+ --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
+ is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
+ preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
+ the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
- - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
- instead of just updating the permissions.
+ - Fixed a bug where a deferred FLOG message would get sent from the
+ generator to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite(). This
+ fixes the "unexpected tag 3" fatal error.
- - 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.
-
- - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
- permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
- the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
+ - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
+ or --size-only is specified.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
- that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
- files).
-
- - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
- preservation of attributes on symlinks.
-
- - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
- and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
- per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
- transfer.
+ - ...
- - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
- the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
- should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
- rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
- replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
- dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- INTERNAL:
+ - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
+ make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
- - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
- MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+ - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
- - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
- with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+ - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
+ consistent opening comments.
