NEWS for rsync 3.0.8 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
Changes since 3.0.7:
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.
- Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
- Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
- 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).
- 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.
