rsync 2.5.2 (???)
SECURITY FIXES:
* Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
<krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
careful about reading integers from the network.
BUG FIXES:
* Fix possible string mangling in log files.
* Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
* Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
ENHANCEMENTS:
* With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
connection.
* --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
support mallinfo().
* "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
* Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
