+NEWS for rsync 3.1.4 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.1.2:
-
- SECURITY FIXES:
- - Fixed a buffer overrun in the protocol's handling of xattr names and
- ensure that the received name is null terminated.
- - Fix an issue with --protect-args where the user could specify the arg in
- the protected-arg list and short-circuit some of the arg-sanitizing code.
+Changes since 3.1.3:
BUG FIXES:
- - Don't output about a new backup dir without appropriate info verbosity.
- - Fixed some issues with the sort functions in support/rsyncstats script.
- - Added a way to specify daemon config lists (e.g. users, groups, etc) that
- contain spaces (see "auth users" in the latest rsyncd.conf manpage).
- - If a backup fails (e.g. full disk) rsync exits with an error.
- - Fixed a problem with a doubled --fuzzy option combined with --link-dest.
- - Avoid invalid output in the summary if either the start or end time had
- an error.
- - We don't allow a popt alias to affect the --daemon or --server options.
- - Fix daemon exclude code to disallow attribute changes in addition to
- disallowing transfers.
- - Don't force nanoseconds to match if a non-transferred, non-checksummed
- file only passed the quick-check w/o comparing nanosecods.
+ - Avoid a potential out-of-bounds read in daemon mode if argc can be made
+ to become 0.
- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - Fix xattr filter rules losing an 'x' attribute in a non-local transfer.
- - Added the ability for rsync to compare nanosecond times in its file-check
- comparisons, and added support nanosecond times on Mac OS X.
- - Added a short-option (-@) for --modify-window.
- - Added the --checksum-choice=NAME[,NAME] option to choose the checksum
- algorithms.
- - Added hashing of xattr names (with using -X) to improve the handling of
- files with large numbers of xattrs.
- - Added a way to filter xattr names using include/exclude/filter rules (see
- the --xattrs option in the manpage for details).
- - Added "daemon chroot|uid|gid" to the daemon config (in addition to the
- old chroot|uid|gid settings that affect the daemon's transfer process).
- - Added "syslog tag" to the daemon configuration.
- - Some manpage improvements.
+ - Fix a compiler error/warning about shifting a negative value (in the zlib
+ code).
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Tweak the "make" output when yodl isn't around to create the man pages.
- - Changed an obsolete autoconf compile macro.
- - Support newer yodl versions when converting man pages.
+ - Added support for RSYNC_SHELL & RSYNC_NO_XFER_EXEC environment variables
+ that affect the pre-xfer exec and post-xfer exec rsync daemon options.
