-rsync 2.5.3 (26 Jan 2002)
+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
- SECURITY FIXES:
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
- <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
- careful about reading integers from the network.
+ - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+ "use chroot" enabled.
- BUG FIXES:
+ - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+
+ - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+ - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+ exclude rule.
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+ - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+ - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+ errno when a function failed.
- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+ - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
- * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
+ - 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.
+
+ - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+ the daemon config file as "parameters".
+
+ - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- * "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.)
+ - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+ compatibility improvements.
- * 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)
+ - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+ bleed-over into patches that follow.
