-rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002)
+rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
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.
+ * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+ process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson)
BUG FIXES:
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+ * 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.
- * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+ * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+ "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
- * 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)
+ * 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:
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
-
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ * 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.
- * "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.)
+ * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
-
- * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
- Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
+ * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+ and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
