(Martin Pool, Andrew - Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059) - - ENHANCEMENTS: + * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process + slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the + current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool) + + * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool) + + * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin + Pool.) + + * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even + for remote connections.

See zlib/README.rsync) + * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle + trailing slashes. + + (Martin Pool) - * Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool) + * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods)
