+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
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 wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- - 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.
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
- - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
- or --size-only is specified.
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
+
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
+
+ - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+
+ - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+ newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+ compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+ - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+ (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+ checksum struct over the wire.
+
+ - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+ arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
+
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - ...
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
- - 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.
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
- - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
- consistent opening comments.
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
