While the widely-publicized security problem in zlib 1.2.2 did - not affect rsync, another security problem surfaced that affects rsync's - zlib 1.1.4. +NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.2: BUG FIXES: - - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list. - This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances - (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was - combined with --link-dest). + - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has + "use chroot" enabled. - - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right: - without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though - it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the - file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of - a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other - totally unchanged items). + - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup - item so that we don't get an "already exists" error. + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- - time were not honoring the --modify-window option. + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being - unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the - directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that - ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing - destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version). + - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination, - we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination - hostspec as a filename. + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. - ENHANCEMENTS: + - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files - that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new - files). + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). - - The configure script now checks for lutimes() and lchmod() so that - rsync can make use of them to update attributes of symlinks (on - systems that support this). + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. - - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a - per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was + compared against the daemon excludes. - - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec" - and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a - per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode - transfer. + - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count + (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid + checksum struct over the wire. - - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options - that take args (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was - also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing - of a pull operation that has multiple sources. + - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded + arg's implied dirs to the transfer. - - Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a - normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer. + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). + + ENHANCEMENTS: - - Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or - improved. + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". - BUILD CHANGES: + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. - - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and - NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we - find in the /etc/group file). + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of - -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
