-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)
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- BUG FIXES:
+ * "make install-strip" works. (Greg Louis)
- * 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.
+ * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the
+ time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron
+ Simpson)
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+ accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+ (Peter Breitenlohner)
- * 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)
+ BUG FIXES:
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * 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)
- * 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 test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus)
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+ Pool.)
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+ for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
