This means that each symlink's - value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info - intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, all arg paths and any - dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are - manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top - of the module's path. These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the - same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a - potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the - module's hierarchy. - - - Fixed an overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --link-dest, - --copy-dest, and --compare-dest options to a daemon without chroot: if - the copy's destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, - these options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references - (since these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code - incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter - how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy. - - - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent - directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the - generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should - also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from - the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client - process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was - receiving files.) - - - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I - is specified. - - - If --link-dest is specified with --checksum but without --times, rsync - will now allow a hard-link to be created to a matching link-dest file - regardless of the file's modify-time. - - - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a - chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps - from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone - over and over again). - - - Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option: - it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used - to successfully update a destination file. + - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --log-file=FILE and --log-file-format=FORMAT options. These - can be used to tell any rsync to output what it is doing to a log file. - They work with a client rsync, a non-daemon server rsync (see the man - page for instructions), and also allows the overriding of rsyncd.conf - settings when starting a daemon. - - - The --log-format option was renamed to be --out-format to avoid confusing - it with affecting the log-file output. (The old option remains as an - alias for the new to preserve backward compatibility.) + - None. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to - make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution. - - - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version. + - The RPM spec file was improved to install more useful files. - - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have - consistent opening comments. + - A few developer-oriented scripts were moved from the support dir + to the packaging dir.
