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.) - - - 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 wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has + "use chroot" enabled. - ENHANCEMENTS: + - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code. - - 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. + - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup. - - 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.) + - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon- + exclude rule. - - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in - the daemon's config file. + - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape. - DEVELOPER RELATED: + - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right + errno when a function failed. + + - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir. + + - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect(). + + - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a + newline to prevent the progress line from being overwritten. + + - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was + compared against the daemon excludes. + + - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count + (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid + checksum struct over the wire. - - 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. + - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded + arg's implied dirs to the transfer. + + - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory(). + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in + the daemon config file as "parameters". + + - The description of the --inplace option was improved. + + DEVELOPER RELATED: - - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version. + - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some + compatibility improvements. - - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have - consistent opening comments. + - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to + bleed-over into patches that follow.
