+NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.4:
+Changes since 2.6.8:
BUG FIXES:
- - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
- not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
- config file.
+ - 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).
- - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
- permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
-
- - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
- basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
- in in effect.
+ - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
+ or --size-only is specified.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - 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 "\\".
+ - ...
- INTERNAL:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - 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.
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
+ consistent opening comments.
