-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
-
- SECURITY FIXES:
-
- * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
- process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
BUG FIXES:
- * 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.
+ - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+ we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+ hostspec as a filename.
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+ - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+ permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+ the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
- * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
- on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
- unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+ - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+ that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+ files).
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+ preservation of attributes on symlinks.
- * 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 two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
+ and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
+ per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+ transfer.
- * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+ INTERNAL:
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+ - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+ MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
- * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
- print an error message. (Colin Walters)
+ - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+ with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
