-NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
-Changes since 2.6.5:
-
- SECURITY FIXES:
-
- - Applied a zlib fix to block a buffer overflow in the decompression
- code. Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse
- the --compress option.
+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
BUG FIXES:
- - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
- This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
- (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
- combined with --link-dest).
-
- - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
- without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
- it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
- file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
- a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
- totally unchanged items).
-
- - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
- item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
-
- - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
- time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
-
- - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
- unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
- directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
- ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
- destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
-
- - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
- we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
- hostspec as a filename.
+ - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+ it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
- per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
+ - 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.
- - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
- that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
- also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
- of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
+ - 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.
- - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix
- mentioned above).
+ - 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).
- BUILD CHANGES:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
- NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
- find in the /etc/group file).
+ - Added more conditional debug output.
- - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
- -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
+ - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+ than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
+ - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+ handling.
