-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002)
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser by Paul
- Mackerras.
+ "Happy 26"
- * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6. Thankyou
- to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino.
+ SECURITY FIXES:
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
+ * 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)
- * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
+ BUG FIXES:
- * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
+ * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE
+ CAN-2002-0059)
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. Thanks to Edward
- Welbourne.
+ * 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.
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. Thankyou to Jeff
- Garzik.
+ * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+ "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+
+ * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+ on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+
+ * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
+ unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+
+ * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
+ slash.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. Based
- on a patch by Rik Faith.
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
+ * 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)
+
+ * 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.
+
+ * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+
+ * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+ and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+ print an error message. (Colin Walters)
