Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.7:
+Changes since 3.0.8:
BUG FIXES:
- - 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.
+ - Fix a crash bug in checksum scanning when --inplace is used.
- - Fixed a data-corruption issue when preserving hard-links without
- preserving file ownership, and doing deletions either before or during
- the transfer (CVE-2011-1097). This fixes some assert errors in the
- hard-linking code, and some potential failed checksums (via -c) that
- should have matched.
+ - Fix preservation of system xattrs (e.g. selinux) on Linux.
- - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
- and the transfer is using ACLs or xattrs.
+ - Fix a bug with the modifying of unwritable directories.
- - Fixed a hang if a really large file is being processed by an rsync that
- can't handle 64-bit numbers. Rsync will now complain about the file
- being too big and skip it.
+ - Fix --fake-super's interaction with --link-dest same-file comparisons.
- - For devices and special files, we now avoid gathering useless ACL and/or
- xattr information for files that aren't being copied. (The un-copied
- files are still put into the file list, but there's no need to gather
- data that is not going to be used.) This ensures that if the user uses
- --no-D, that rsync can't possibly complain about being unable to gather
- extended information from special files that are in the file list (but
- not in the transfer).
+ - Fix the updating of the curr_dir buffer to avoid a duplicate slash.
- - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash. This
- avoids a potential error where a filename could be interpreted as a
- (usually invalid) option.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
- --skip-compress.
-
- - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync
- will now disallow access to that module.
-
- - 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).
-
- - If rsync was compiled with a newer time-setting function (such as
- lutimes), rsync will fall-back to an older function (such as utimes) on a
- system where the newer function is not around. This helps to make the
- rsync binary more portable in mixed-OS-release situations.
-
- - 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.
-
- - Improved ACL mask handling, e.g. for Solaris.
-
- - Fixed a bug that prevented --numeric-ids from disabling the translation
- of user/group IDs for ACLs.
-
- - 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
- trying to access the not-yet-existing new destination directory.
-
- - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
- file.
-
- - The --link-dest checking for identical symlinks now avoids considering
- attribute differences that cannot be changed on the receiver.
-
- - Avoid trying to read/write xattrs on certain file types for certain OSes.
- Improved configure to set NO_SYMLINK_XATTRS, NO_DEVICE_XATTRS, and/or
- NO_SPECIAL_XATTRS defines in config.h.
-
- - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
-
- - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable.
-
- - Avoid re-setting xattrs on a hard-linked file w/the same xattrs.
-
- - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't
- user writable.
-
- - Fixed a bug where a sparse file could have its last sparse block turned
- into a real block when rsync sets the file size (requires ftruncate).
-
- - If a temp-file name is too long, rsync now avoids truncating the name in
- the middle of adjacent high-bit characters. This prevents a potential
- filename error if the filesystem doesn't allow a name to contain an
- invalid multi-byte sequence.
-
- - If a muli-protocol socket connection fails (i.e., when contacting a
- daemon), we now report all the failures, not just the last one. This
- avoids losing a relevant error (e.g. an IPv4 connection-refused error)
- that happened before the final error (e.g. an IPv6 protocol-not-supported
- error).
-
- - Generate a transfer error if we try to call chown with a -1 for a uid or
- a gid (which is not settable).
-
- - Fixed the working of --force when used with --one-file-system.
-
- - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will
- reject an attempt to supply one (can configure --with-included-popt if
- your system's popt library doesn't yet have this fix).
-
- - A couple minor option tweaks to the support/rrsync script, and also some
- regex changes that make vim highlighting happier.
-
- - Fixed some issues in the support/mnt-excl script.
-
- - Various manpage improvements.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Added ".hg/" to the default cvs excludes (see -C & --cvs-exclude).
-
- 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.
-
- - Fixed configure's checking for iconv routines for newer OS X versions.
-
- - Fixed the testsuite/xattrs.test script on OS X.
+ - Fix some issues with the post-processing of the man pages.
