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 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED) +Protocol: 30 (unchanged) +Changes since 3.0.3: 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). - - - 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). - - - 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 a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to + allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on system OSes). - - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- - time were not honoring the --modify-window option. + - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make + it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. - - 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). + - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly + in incremental recursion mode. - - 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. - - - Rsync now outputs a targeted error if both the source and destination - path appear to be a remote filespecs rather than treating the dest as - a very strange local path and (most likely) generating an error about - non-existent directories. + - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the + destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that + a non-root copy can't affect. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files - that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new - files). - - - 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). - - - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a - per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). + - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful + for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option. - - 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. + - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained + control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output + using --info=progress2. - - 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. + - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the + MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was + specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect). - - Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a - normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer. + - Rsync will not send an -e option to the server if the user specifies the + --protocol=29 option. This lets rsync3 use an overly-restrictive server. - - Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or - improved. + DEVELOPER RELATED: - BUILD CHANGES: + - Added more conditional debug output. - - 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). + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of - -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling. + - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile + or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
