+NEWS for rsync 3.0.8 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.3:
+Changes since 3.0.7:
BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
- allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
+ - 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 hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
- of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
+ - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
+ and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
- - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This
- particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
- be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
- the --remove-source-files was also specified.
+ - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
- - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
- destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
- a non-root copy can't affect.
+ - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
+ --skip-compress.
- - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
- incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
+ - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync
+ will now disallow access to that module.
- - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead
- of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides
- of the transfer).
+ - 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).
- - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
- this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail
- silently (the user should see the warning about deletions being disabled
- due to IO error when --ignore-errors was not specified).
+ - 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.
- - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename,
- it now outputs the name back to the client without mangling the charset.
+ - 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.
- - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
- the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+ - 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.
- - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
+ - If we fail to connect to an rsync daemon, report all the connection
+ errors (e.g. ipv4 & ipv6), not just the last one.
- - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number
- (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation).
+ - 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.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
+ file.
- - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
- is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
- user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
- server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
+ - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
- - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit.
+ - 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:
- - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
- or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
+ - 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.
- - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
+ - Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.
