(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) - * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer - -- in some cases we were not sufficiently - careful about reading integers from the network. BUG FIXES: - * Fix possible string mangling in log files. + * 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 for setting local address of outgoing sockets. + * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool) - * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with - 64-bit dev_t or ino_t. + * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin + Pool.) - ENHANCEMENTS: + * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even + for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz) - * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that - support mallinfo(). + * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle + trailing slashes. + + (Martin Pool) - * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress - visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress, - rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the - file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.) + * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods)
