-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.1 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.0:
- SECURITY FIXES:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
+ - Fixed a crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was
+ run without specifying a --config=FILE option.
- * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
- process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
- #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
+ - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL.
- BUG FIXES:
+ - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to
+ not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date.
+
+ - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs.
+
+ - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files.
+
+ - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom
+ CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building
+ of rounding.h fails.
+
+ - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon.
+
+ - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver
+ that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on
+ the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse
+ protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a
+ file) was already working.
+
+ - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that
+ can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if
+ --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard-
+ linked set of files, but not all of them).
- * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
- unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
- and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+ - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time
+ that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime.
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved.
- * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
- on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+ - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option.
- * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
- unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+ - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the
+ itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes,
+ and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish
+ between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a
+ revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device
+ numbers).
- * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
- slash.
+ - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no
+ longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to-
+ date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions,
+ ownership, xattrs, etc.).
+
+ - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs)
+ because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it
+ automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X.
+
+ - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
+ wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
+
+ - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
+ rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that
- rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
- against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
+ - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
+ listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
+ --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
+
+ - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides.
+
+ - Improved the documentation of the --append option.
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I
+ sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release).
+
+ - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper
+ normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should
+ not have caused problems, though.)
- * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
- than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
- what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
- to parse the output.
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about
+ unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of
+ the ACL/xattrs/iconv features.
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the
+ included popt should be used or not.
- * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
- print an error message. (Colin Walters)
+ - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory
+ structure.
