(Cameron Simpson) + + * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install" + accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages. + (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis) + + * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of + a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb, + similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy. + (Martin Pool) + + + BUG FIXES: + + * 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. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz) + + * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle + trailing slashes. + + (Martin Pool) + + * Improved network error handling. (Greg A.

(Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE + CAN-2002-0059) + + * 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. + + * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of + "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. + + * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc + on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". + + * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client + unexpectedly disconnects.
