-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
-
- 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.
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
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.
-
- * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
+ - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+ without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
+ it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
+ file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged
+ hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
+ unchanged files).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+ per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ BUILD CHANGES:
- * "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.)
+ - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
+ NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
+ find in the /etc/group file).
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
+ - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+ -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
