-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+rsync changes since last release
- SECURITY FIXES:
-
- * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
- process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
- #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE
- CAN-2002-0059)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
- unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
- and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+ * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+ Zimmerman)
- * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
- on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
+ L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
- unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+ * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
- * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
- slash.
+ * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should
+ get a warning but it should not be treated as an error. (Bill
+ Nottingham)
- * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that
- rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
- against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
+ http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489
- * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
- than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
- what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
- to parse the output.
+ INTERNAL:
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
+ Pool, Nelson Beebe)
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
- print an error message. (Colin Walters)
+ * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
