-rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002)
+rsync changes since last release
- "Happy 26"
-
- 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)
-
- * 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.
-
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
- on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+ * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
+ otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
- * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
- unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+ * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+ accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+ (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
- * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
- slash.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * 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)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * 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.
+ * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
+ slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
+ current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+ Pool.)
- * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
- print an error message. (Colin Walters)
+ * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+ for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
