-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
+rsync 2.5.4 (12 March 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.
+ "Imitation lizard skin"
BUG FIXES:
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
-
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
-
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
-
- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
-
+ * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug. (Martin Pool, Andrew
+ Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
-
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
-
- * "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.)
+ * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4. (Jos Backus)
+ (Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can
+ not just link against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
+ * Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool)
