(Ethan Benson) (Debian bug + #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080) - * Support for LSB-compliant packaging - - * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines. - - ENHANCEMENTS - - * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are - included or excluded and why. - - * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more - details. - - * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation. + BUG FIXES: - * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log - file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is - open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log - file to get cleaned out by another process. + * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE + CAN-2002-0059) - * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing - options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more - consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not - installed on the platform. + * 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. - * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit - files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported. + * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of + "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. - * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles. + * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc + on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". - * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp, - explain that we do it in a secure way. + * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client + unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) - * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the - local machine. + * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing + slash. - BUG FIXES: + ENHANCEMENTS: - * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX. + * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that + rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link + against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) - * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug. + * 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. - * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked - to transfer fail to transfer + * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) - * Fix --cvs-exclude sigsegv bug. + * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work + and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) - * Applied "simple nohang patch" from Wayne Davison. \ No newline at end of file + * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, + print an error message.
