BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
- wildcards failed to match an absolute source arg, but only when
- --relative is in effect.
+ - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
+ daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
+ destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
+ of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
+ --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
+ is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
+ preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
+ the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+
+ - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
+ directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
+ generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should
+ also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from
+ the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client
+ process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was
+ receiving files.)
+
+ - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
+ or --size-only is specified.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
- easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+ - ...
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
+ make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+
+ - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+
+ - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
+ consistent opening comments.
