-# NEWS for rsync 3.2.7 (UNRELEASED)
+# NEWS for rsync 3.3.0 (6 Apr 2024)
+
+## Changes in this version:
+
+### BUG FIXES:
+
+- Fixed a bug with `--sparse --inplace` where a trailing gap in the source
+ file would not clear out the trailing data in the destination file.
+
+- Fixed an buffer overflow in the checksum2 code if SHA1 is being used for
+ the checksum2 algorithm.
+
+- Fixed an issue when rsync is compiled using `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` so that the
+ extra tests don't complain about a strlcpy() limit value (which was too
+ large, even though it wasn't possible for the larger value to cause an
+ overflow).
+
+- Add a backtick to the list of characters that the filename quoting needs to
+ escape using backslashes.
+
+- Fixed a string-comparison issue in the internal handling of `--progress` (a
+ locale such as tr_TR.utf-8 needed the internal triggering of `--info` options
+ to use upper-case flag names to ensure that they match).
+
+- Make sure that a local transfer marks the sender side as trusted.
+
+- Change the argv handling to work with a newer popt library -- one that likes
+ to free more data than it used to.
+
+- Rsync now calls `OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms()` when compiled against an older
+ openssl library.
+
+- Fixed a problem in the daemon auth for older protocols (29 and before) if the
+ openssl library is being used to compute MD4 checksums.
+
+- Fixed `rsync -VV` on Cygwin -- it needed a flush of stdout.
+
+- Fixed an old stats bug that counted devices as symlinks.
+
+### ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+- Enhanced rrsync with the `-no-overwrite` option that allows you to ensure
+ that existing files on your restricted but writable directory can't be
+ modified.
+
+- Enhanced the manpages to mark links with .UR & .UE. If your nroff doesn't
+ support these idioms, touch the file `.md2man-force` in the source directory
+ so that `md-convert` gets called with the `--force-link-text` option, and
+ that should ensure that your manpages are still readable even with the
+ ignored markup.
+
+- Some manpage improvements on the handling of [global] modules.
+
+- Changed the mapfrom & mapto perl scripts (in the support dir) into a single
+ python script named idmap. Converted a couple more perl scripts into python.
+
+- Changed the mnt-excl perl script (in the support dir) into a python script.
+
+### DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - Updated config.guess (timestamp 2023-01-01) and config.sub (timestamp
+ 2023-01-21).

+ output in a (still readable) JSON format. Client side only.
- The script `support/json-rsync-version` is available to get the JSON style
version output from any rsync. The script accepts either text on stdin
**or** an arg that specifies an rsync executable to run with a doubled
`--version` option. If the text we get isn't already in JSON format, it is
converted. Newer rsync versions will provide more complete json info than
- older rsync versions.
+ older rsync versions. Various tweaks are made to keep the flag names
+ consistent across versions.
- The [`use chroot`](rsyncd.conf.5#) daemon parameter now defaults to "unset"
so that rsync can use chroot when it works and a sanitized copy when chroot
- The `--fuzzy` option was optimized a bit to try to cut down on the amount of
computations when considering a big pool of files. The simple heuristic from

+ Kenneth Finnegan resulted in about a 2x speedup.
- If rsync is forced to use protocol 29 or before (perhaps due to talking to an
rsync before 3.0.0), the modify time of a file is limited to 4-bytes. Rsync
- A new form of arg protection was added that works similarly to the older
`--protect-args` ([`-s`](rsync.1#opt)) option but in a way that avoids
breaking things like rrsync (the restricted rsync script): rsync now uses
- backslash escaping for sending "shell-active" characters to the remote

- filename value now works by default without any extra quoting:
+ backslash escaping for sending "shell-active" characters to the remote shell
+ (such as `$(){}<>#&` and others). This includes spaces, so fetching a remote
+ file via a quoted filename value now works by default without any extra
+ quoting:
```shell
rsync -aiv host:'a simple file.pdf' .
Wildcards are not escaped in filename args, but they are escaped in options
like the [`--suffix`](rsync.1#opt) and [`--usermap`](rsync.1#opt) values.
- If your rsync script depends on the old arg-splitting behavior, either run
- it with the [`--old-args`](rsync.1#opt) option or `export RSYNC_OLD_ARGS=1`
- in the script's environment. See also the [ADVANCED USAGE](rsync.1#)
- section of rsync's manpage for how to use a more modern arg style.
+
+ If a script depends on the old arg behavior (perhaps because it quotes or
+ protects the args already, or perhaps because it expects arg splitting),
+ there are two easy ways to get things going with a modern rsync: either
+ `export RSYNC_OLD_ARGS=1` in the script's environment (perhaps in the script
+ itself) or add the option [`--old-args`](rsync.1#opt) to the rsync commands
+ that are run. See also the [ADVANCED USAGE](rsync.1#) section of rsync's
+ manpage for how to use a more modern arg style.
- A long-standing bug was preventing rsync from figuring out the current
locale's decimal point character, which made rsync always output numbers
