SECURITY FIXE
S:
+
ENHANCEMENT
S:
- * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
- <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
- careful about reading integers from the network.
+ * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
+ otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
- BUG FIXES:
+ * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+ accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+ (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+ * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of
+ a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb,
+ similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy.
+ (Martin Pool)
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ BUG FIXES:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
+ slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
+ current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool)
- *
With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ *
Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+ Pool.)
- *
--statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ *
Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+ for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
- *
"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.
)
+ *
Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
+ trailing slashes.

(Martin Pool
)
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
+ * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods)
