+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
BUG FIXES:
- - 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 bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
+ allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on system OSes).
- - 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.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
- - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
- or --size-only is specified.
+ - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
+ in incremental recursion mode.
+
+ - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
+ destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
+ a non-root copy can't affect.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - ...
+ - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
+ for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
+
+ - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained
+ control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
+ using --info=progress2.
+
+ - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
+ MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
+ specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
+
+ - Rsync will not send an -e option to the server if the user specifies the
+ --protocol=29 option. This lets rsync3 use an overly-restrictive server.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - 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.
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
+
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
- - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
- - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
- consistent opening comments.
+ - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+ or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
