+Changes since 3.0.7:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bogus free when using --xattrs with --backup.
+ - Fixed two buffer-overflow issues: one where a directory path that is
+ exactly MAXPATHLEN was not handled correctly, and one handling a
+ --backup-dir that is extra extra large.
- - Avoid an error when --dry-run was trying to stat a prior hard-link file
- that hasn't really been created.
+ - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
+ and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
- - Fixed a problem with --compress (-z) where the receiving side could
- return the error "inflate (token) returned -5".
+ - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
- - Improved --skip-compress's error handling of bad character-sets and got
- rid of a lingering debug fprintf().
+ - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
+ --skip-compress.
- - Fixed the daemon's conveyance of io_error value from the sender.
+ - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync
+ will now disallow access to that module.
- - An rsync daemon use seteuid() (when available) if it used setuid().
+ - If the destination arg is an empty string, it will be treated as a
+ reference to the current directory (as 2.x used to do).
- - Get the permissions right on a --fake-super transferred directory that
- needs more owner permissions to emulate root behavior.
+ - Fixed a batch-file writing bug that would not write out the full set of
+ compatibility flags that the transfer was using. This fixes a potential
+ protocol problem for a batch file that contains a sender-side I/O error:
+ it would have been sent in a way that the batch-reader wasn't expecting.
- - Improved the "--delete does not work without -r or -d" message.
+ - Some improvements to the hard-linking code to ensure that device-number
+ hashing is working right, and to supply more information if the hard-link
+ code fails.
- - Improved rsync's handling of --timeout to avoid weird timeout cases and
- to make keep-alive messages work even with older (pre-2.6.4) rsyncs (by
- discovering a workable keep-alive signal that can be used with rsyncs
- that don't support explicit keep-alive messages).
+ - The --inplace code was improved to not search for an impossible checksum
+ position. The quadruple-verbose chunk[N] message will now mention when
+ an inplace chunk was handled by a seek rather than a read+write.
- - Some misc manpage improvements.
+ - If we fail to connect to an rsync daemon, report all the connection
+ errors (e.g. ipv4 & ipv6), not just the last one.
- - Fixed the chmod-temp-dir testsuite on a system without /var/tmp.
+ - Fixed an issue where an xattr and/or acl transfer that used an alt-dest
+ option (e.g. --link-dest) could output an error trying to itemize the
+ changes against the alt-dest directory's xattr/acl info but was instead
+ tryring to access the not-yet-existing new destination directory.
- - Make sure that a timeout specified in the daemon's config is used as a
- maximum timeout value when the user also specifies a timeout.
+ - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
+ file.
- - Improved the error-exit reporting when rsync gets an error trying to
- cleanup after an error: the initial error is reported.
+ - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
- - Improved configure's detection of IPv6 for solaris and cygwin.
+ - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable.
- - The AIX sysacls routines will now return ENOSYS if ENOTSUP is missing.
+ - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't
+ user writable.
- - Made our (only used if missing) getaddrinfo() routine use inet_pton()
- (which we also provide) instead of inet_aton().
+ - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will
+ reject an attempt to supply and arg.
- - The exit-related debug messages now mention the program's role so it is
- clear who output what message.
+ - A couple minor option tweaks to support/rrsync script, and also some
+ regex changes that make vim highlighting happier.
+
+ - A few manpage improvements.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Got rid of type-punned compiler warnings output by newer gcc versions.
+ - Use lchmod() whenever it is available (not just on symlinks).
+
+ - A couple fixes to the socketpair_tcp() routine.
- - The Makefile now ensures that proto.h will be rebuilt if config.h changes.
+ - Updated the helper scripts in the packaging subdirectory.
- - The testsuite no longer uses "id -u", so it works better on solaris.
+ - Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.
