-rsync 2.5.3 (26 Jan 2002)
-
- SECURITY FIXES:
-
- * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
- <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
- careful about reading integers from the network.
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
BUG FIXES:
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
-
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+ - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
+ not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
+ config file.
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
-
- * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
+ - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
+ basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+ in in effect.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
+ characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is output
+ using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+
+ INTERNAL:
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
- * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
- visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
- rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
- file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
-
- * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
- Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
+ - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
