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.) - - - 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. + - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make + it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error. ENHANCEMENTS: - - 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. + - 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. - - 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.) + - 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. + + - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). (See the + --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.) + + - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes. + + - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created + (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for + protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and + deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type. + + - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file + ownership during the copy. + + - 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). + + EXTRAS: + + - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes + it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory. + + - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which + makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on + passwd/group files from another machine. DEVELOPER RELATED: - - 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. + - Added more conditional debug output. + + - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather + than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion. - - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version. + - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment + handling. - - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have - consistent opening comments. + - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
