Any non-printable character is - output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash - is now output as "\\". Rsync also uses your locale setting, which - should make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable (when - appropriate). - - - If rsync received an empty file list when pulling files, it would - output an "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit - status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do - this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed - to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior -- we - now do the normal end-of-run outputting (depending on options) and - exit with the appropriate exit status. + - Applied a zlib fix to block a buffer overflow in the decompression + code. Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse + the --compress option. BUG FIXES: - - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did - not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the - rsyncd.conf file. - - - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified - that might have caused an infinite loop or perhaps a crash. - - - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write - permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode. - - - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the - basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i - is in effect. - - - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after - processing. - - - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in - addition to its use in daemon mode). - - - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete - processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a - newline. + - 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). - - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer - to it as a "file". + - 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 transferring a single file to a different-named file, any - generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to - the file by the destination filename. + - 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 where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the - generator hasn't created the destination directory yet. + - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification- + time were not honoring the --modify-window option. - - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked - to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest - of the cluster. + - 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). - - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync - no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the - receiving side. - - - Fixed a compatibility problem when using --cvs-ignore (-C) and - sending files to an older rsync without using --delete. + - 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. ENHANCEMENTS: - - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead - of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any - actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all - the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you - are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch). - - - When the generator is taking a long time to fill up its output buffer - (e.g. if the transferred files are few, small, or missing), it now - periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver - can get started on the files sooner rather than later. - - - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include - some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user, - password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.) + - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a + per-module basis (which now matches the documentation). - - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that - it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we - really did expect the socket to close). + - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options + that take them (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 the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall - back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally - silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach). - - INTERNAL: - - - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, ""). + - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix + mentioned above). BUILD CHANGES: - - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented - rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support. - - - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale(). + - 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). - - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they - refuse to fix its broken handling of large files). + - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of + -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages. - - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that - the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s - presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
