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.) - - - Fixed a bug in the %f logfile escape when receiving files: the - destination path is now included in the output (e.g. you can now tell - when a user specifies a subdir inside a module). - - - If the receiving side fails to create a directory, it will now skip - trying to update everything that is inside that directory. - - - 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 - even when the file's modify-time doesn't match the server's file. - - - 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 crash bug when a single-use rsync daemon (via remote shell) was + run without specifying a --config=FILE option. + + - Fixed a crash when backing up a directory that has a default ACL. + + - Fixed a bug in the handling of xattr values that could cause rsync to + not think that a file's extended attributes are up-to-date. + + - Fixed the working of --fake-super with --link-dest and --xattrs. + + - Fixed a hang when combining --dry-run with --remove-source-files. + + - Fixed the building of the rounding.h file on systems that need custom + CPPFLAGS to be used. Also improved the error reporting if the building + of rounding.h fails. + + - Fixed the use of the --protect-args (-s) option when talking to a daemon. + + - Fixed the --ignore-existing option's protection of files on the receiver + that are non-regular files on the sender (e.g. if a symlink or a dir on + the sender is trying to replace a file on the receiver). The reverse + protection (protecting a dir/symlink/device from being replaced by a + file) was already working. + + - Fixed an assert failure if --hard-links is combined with an option that + can cause a file in a set of hard-linked files to be skipped (i.e. if + --append, --ignore-existing, etc. affects one or more files in a hard- + linked set of files, but not all of them). + + - Avoid setting the time on a directory that already has the modify time + that we're setting. This avoids tweaking the dir's ctime. + + - Improved the daemon-exclude handling to do a better job of excluding + a wider range of path entries. It also sends the user an error about + "missing" files instead of silently ignoring them. + + - Fixed some glitches with the dry-run code's missing-directory + handling, including a problem when combined with --fuzzy. + + - Fixed some glitches with the skipped-directory handling. + + - Fixed the 'T'-flag itemizing of symlinks when --time isn't preserved. + + - Fixed a glitch in the itemizing of permissions with the -E option. + + - Added the 'c'-flag to the itemizing of non-regular files so that the + itemized output doesn't get hidden if there were no attribute changes, + and also so that the itemizing of a --copy-links run will distinguish + between copying an identical non-regular file and the creation of a + revised version with a new value (e.g. symlink referent, device + numbers). + + - The --append option's restricting of transfers to those that add data no + longer prevents the updating of non-content changes to otherwise up-to- + date files (i.e. those with the same content but differing permissions, + ownership, xattrs, etc.). + + - Don't allow --fake-super to be specified with -XX (double --xattrs) + because they conflict. If a daemon has "fake super" enabled, it + automatically downgrades a -XX request to -X. + + - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support + wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs). + + - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that + rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server). 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. + - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file + listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the + --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue. - - 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.) + - Added a few more --no-OPTION overrides. - - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in - the daemon's config file. + - Improved the documentation of the --append option. + + - Improved the documentation of the filter/exclude/include daemon + parameters. + + INTERNAL: + + - Fixed a couple minor bugs in the included popt library (ones which I + sent to the official popt project for inclusion in the 1.14 release). + + - Fixed a stat() call that should have been do_stat() so that the proper + normal/64-bit stat() function gets called. (Was in an area that should + not have caused problems, though.) + + - Changed the file-glob code to do a directory scan without using the + "glob" and "glob.h". This lets us do the globbing with less memory + churn, and also avoid adding daemon-excluded items to the returned + args. 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. + - The configure script tries to get the user's compiler to not warn about + unused function parameters if the build is not including one or more of + the ACL/xattrs/iconv features. + + - The configure script now has better checks for figuring out if the + included popt should be used or not. - - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version. + - The RPM spec file was updated to have (1) comments for how to use the + rsync-patch tar file, and (2) an /etc/xinetd.d/rsync file. - - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have - consistent opening comments. + - Updated the build scripts to work with a revised FTP directory + structure.
