rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002)
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.
* Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
* Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)
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)
* New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03)
BUG FIXES:
* Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul
Mackerras)
* Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
(YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
Hagino)
* Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra)
* rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai)
* Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt)
* rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward
Welbourne)
* Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik)
ENHANCEMENTS:
* --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
Faith)
* --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
* Clearer error messages for some conditions.
rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30)
ANNOUNCEMENTS
* Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
NEW FEATURES
* Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
* Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
* Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
* IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also
includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the
Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH
portability project, and OpenBSD.
ENHANCEMENTS
* Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
included or excluded and why.
* Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
details.
* Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
* When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
file to get cleaned out by another process.
* Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
installed on the platform.
* More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
* MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
* Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
explain that we do it in a secure way.
* --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
local machine.
BUG FIXES:
* Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
* Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
* Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
* Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
to transfer fail to transfer
* For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
PLATFORMS:
* Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
* autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
