Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.1:
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code.
+ - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
+ crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
+ Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
+ options specified.
+
+ - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
+ recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
+ "redo" files properly (and without hanging).
+
+ - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
- - None.
+ - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
+ destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
+ when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
- - The RPM spec file was improved to install more useful files.
+ - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
+
+ - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
+ confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - A few developer-oriented scripts were moved from the support dir
- to the packaging dir.
+ - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
+ update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
+ particular symlink idiom.
