+NEWS for rsync 3.0.8 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.5:
+Changes since 3.0.7:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a hang in the batch-reading code with incremental recursion.
+ - 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.
- - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
- multiple connections.
+ - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
+ and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
- - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
+ - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
- - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
- start of the short options.
+ - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
+ --skip-compress.
- - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target.
+ - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync
+ will now disallow access to that module.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - 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).
- - ...
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - If we fail to connect to an rsync daemon, report all the connection
+ errors (e.g. ipv4 & ipv6), not just the last one.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
+ file.
+
+ - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
+
+ - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable.
+
+ - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't
+ user writable.
+
+ - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will
+ reject an attempt to supply and arg.
+
+ - 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:
+
+ - Use lchmod() whenever it is available (not just on symlinks).
+
+ - A couple fixes to the socketpair_tcp() routine.
+
+ - Updated the helper scripts in the packaging subdirectory.
+
+ - Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.
