-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)
-
- 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.
-
- * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
- "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
-
- * 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)
-
- * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
- slash.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * 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 --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
-
- * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
- and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
-
- * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
- print an error message. (Colin Walters)
