-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
- BUG FIXES:
-
- * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul
- Mackerras)
+ SECURITY FIXES:
- * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
- (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino)
+ * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+ process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
+ #132272)
- * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra)
+ BUG FIXES:
- * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai)
+ * 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.
- * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt)
+ * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+ "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
- * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward
- Welbourne)
+ * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+ on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
- * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik)
+ * 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:
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
- Faith)
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
+ * 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)
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+ print an error message. (Colin Walters)
