-NEWS for rsync 3.2.0 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.1.3:
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- - Avoid a potential out-of-bounds read in daemon mode if argc can be made
- to become 0.
-
- - Fix the default list of skip-compress files for non-daemon transfers.
-
- - Fix xattr filter rules losing an 'x' attribute in a non-local transfer.
-
- - Avoid an error when a check for a potential fuzzy file happens to
- reference a directory.
-
- - Make the atomic-rsync helper script have a more consistent error-exit.
-
- - Make sure that a signal handler calls _exit() instead of exit().
-
- - Various zlib fixes, including security fixes for CVE-2016-9843,
- CVE-2016-9842, CVE-2016-9841, and CVE-2016-9840.
-
- - Fixed an issue with --remove-source-files not removing a source symlink
- when combined with --copy-links.
-
- - Fixed a bug where the daemon would fail to write early fatal error
- messages to the client, such as refused or unknown command-line options.
-
- - Fixed the block-size validation logic when dealing with older protocols.
-
- - Some rrsync fixes and enhancements to handle the latest options.
-
- - Fixed a crash in the --iconv code.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the writing of the batch.sh file (w/--write-batch) when
- the source & destination args were not last on the command-line.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Various checksum enhancements, including the optional use of openssl's
- MD4 & MD5 checksum algorithms, some x86_64 optimizations for the rolling
- checksum, some x86_64 optimizations for the (non-openssl) MD5 checksum,
- the addition of xxhash checksum support, and a negotiation heuristic that
- ensures that it is easier to add new checksum algorithms in the future.
- Currently the x86_64 optimizations require the use of the --enable-simd
- flag to configure, but they will probably be enabled by default in the
- near future. The environment variable RSYNC_CHECKSUM_LIST can be used
- to customize the preference order of the negotiation.
-
- - Various compression enhancements, including a negotiation heuristic that
- tries to pick the best compression option supported by both sides. The
- environment variable RSYNC_COMPRESS_LIST can be used to customize the
- preference order of the heuristic (which will be more useful when new
- compression options are added).
-
- - Added the --atimes option based on the long-standing patch (just with
- some fixes that the patch has been needing).
-
- - Added --open-noatime option to open files using O_NOATIME.
-
- - Added the --write-devices option based on the long-standing patch.
-
- - Added openssl support to the rsync-ssl script via its renamed helper
- script, rsync-ssl-rsh. Both bash scripts are now installed by default
- (removing the install-ssl-client make target). Rsync was also enhanced
- to set the RSYNC_PORT environment variable when running a daemon-over-rsh
- script. Its value is the user-specified port number (set via --port or an
- rsync:// URL) or 0 if the user didn't override the port.
-
- - Added negated matching to the daemon's "refuse options" setting by using
- match strings that start with a "!" (such as "!compress*").
-
- - Added status output in response to a signal (via both SIGINFO & SIGVTALRM).
-
- - Added a --copy-as=USER option to give some extra security to root-run
- rsync commands into/from untrusted directories (such as backups and
- restores).
-
- - When resuming the transfer of a file in the --partial-dir, rsync will now
- update that partial file in-place instead of creating yet another tmp
- file copy. This requires both sender & receiver to be at least v3.2.0.
-
- - Added support for RSYNC_SHELL & RSYNC_NO_XFER_EXEC environment variables
- that affect the pre-xfer exec and post-xfer exec rsync daemon options.
-
- - Fixed a problem with the --link-dest|--copy-dest code when --xattrs was
- specified along with multiple alternate-destination directories (it could
- possibly choose a bad file match while trying to find a better xattr
- match).
-
- - Various manpage improvements.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - Silenced some annoying warnings about major()|minor() due to the autoconf
- include-file check not being smart enough.
-
- - Improved some configure checks to work better with strict C99 compilers.
-
- - The --debug=FOO options are no longer auto-forwarded to the server side,
- allowing more control over what is output & the ability to request debug
- data from divergent rsync versions.
-
- - Some perl scripts were recoded into awk and python3.
-
- - Some defines in byteorder.h were changed into static inline functions
- that will help to ensure that the args don't get evaluated multiple times
- on "careful alignment" hosts.
-
- - Some code typos were fixed (as pointed out by a Fossies run).
