+NEWS for rsync 3.0.8 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.4:
+Changes since 3.0.7:
BUG FIXES:
- - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
- crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
- Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
+ - 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.
- - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
- options specified.
+ - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
+ and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
- - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
- recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
- "redo" files properly (and without hanging).
+ - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
- - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
+ - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
+ --skip-compress.
- - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
- destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
- when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
+ - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync
+ will now disallow access to that module.
- - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside a --files-from
- file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory.
+ - 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 bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories when
- incremental recursion is active.
+ - 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.
- - Fixed a hard to trigger hang when using --remove-source-files.
+ - 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.
- - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
+ - 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.
- - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
+ - If we fail to connect to an rsync daemon, report all the connection
+ errors (e.g. ipv4 & ipv6), not just the last one.
- - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
- confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
+ - 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.
- - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of
- getnameinfo().
+ - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
+ file.
- - Fixed a bug when using --sparse on a sparse file that has over 2GB of
- consecutive sparse data.
+ - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
- - Avoid a hang when using at least 3 --verbose options on a transfer with a
- client sender (which includes local copying).
+ - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable.
- - Fixed a problem with --delete-delay reporting an error when it was ready
- to remove a directory that was now gone.
+ - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't
+ user writable.
- - Got rid of a bunch of "warn_unused_result" compiler warnings.
+ - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will
+ reject an attempt to supply and arg.
- - If an ftruncate() on a received file fails, it now causes a partial-
- transfer warning.
+ - A couple minor option tweaks to support/rrsync script, and also some
+ regex changes that make vim highlighting happier.
- - Allow a path with a leading "//" to be preserved (CYGWIN only).
+ - A few manpage improvements.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
- update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
- particular symlink idiom.
+ - 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.
