-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).

-NEWS for rsync 3.1.3 (28 Jan 2018)
-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.
-
- 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.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - 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.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - 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.
-
-NEWS for rsync 3.1.2 (21 Dec 2015)
-Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.1.1:
-
- SECURITY FIXES:
-
- - Make sure that all transferred files use only path names from inside the
- transfer. This makes it impossible for a malicious sender to try to make
- the receiver use an unsafe destination path for a transferred file, such
- as a just-sent symlink.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- - Change the checksum seed order in the per-block checksums. This prevents
- someone from trying to create checksum blocks that match in sum but not
- content.
- - Fixed a with the per-dir filter files (using -FF) that could trigger an
- assert failure.
- - Only skip set_modtime() on a transferred file if the time is exactly
- right.
- - Don't create an empty backup dir for a transferred file that doesn't
- exist yet.
- - Fixed a bug where --link-dest and --xattrs could cause rsync to exit if
- a filename had a matching dir of the same name in the alt-dest area.
- - Allow more than 32 group IDs per user in the daemon's gid=LIST config.
- - Fix the logging of %b & %c via --log-file (daemon logging was already
- correct, as was --out-format='%b/%c').
- - Fix erroneous acceptance of --info=5 & --debug=5 (an empty flag name is
- not valid).
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Added "(DRY RUN)" info to the --debug=exit output line.
- - Use usleep() for our msleep() function if it is available.
- - Added a few extra long-option names to rrsync script, which will make
- BackupPC happier.
- - Made configure choose to use linux xattrs on netbsd (rather than not
- supporting xattrs).
- - Added -wo (write-only) option to rrsync support script.
- - Misc. manpage tweaks.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - Fixed a bug with the Makefile's use of INSTALL_STRIP.
- - Improve a test in the suite that could get an erroneous timestamp error.
- - Tweaks for newer versions of git in the packaging tools.
- - Improved the m4 generation rules and some autoconf idioms.
-
-NEWS for rsync 3.1.1 (22 Jun 2014)
-Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.1.0:
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- - If the receiver gets bogus filenames from the sender (an unexpected
- leading slash or a ".." infix dir), exit with an error. This prevents a
- malicious sender from trying to inject filenames that would affect an
- area outside the destination directories.
-
- - Fixed a failure to remove the partial-transfer temp file when interrupted
- (and rsync is not saving the partial files).
-
- - Changed the chown/group/xattr-set order to avoid losing some security-
- related xattr info (that would get cleared by a chown).
-
- - Fixed a bug in the xattr-finding code that could make a non-root-run
- receiver not able to find some xattr numbers.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the early daemon protocol where a timeout failed to be
- honored (e.g. if the remote side fails to send us the initial protocol
- greeting).
-
- - Fixed unintended inclusion of commas in file numbers in the daemon log.
-
- - We once again send the 'f' sub-flag (of -e) to the server side so it
- knows that we can handle incremental-recursion directory errors properly
- in older protocols.
-
- - Fixed an issue with too-aggressive keep-alive messages causing a problem
- for older rsync versions early in the transfer.
-
- - Fixed an incorrect message about backup-directory-creation when using
- --dry-run and the backup dir is not an absolute path.
-
- - Fixed a bug where a failed deletion and/or a failed sender-side removal
- would not affect the exit code.
-
- - Fixed a bug that caused a failure when combining --delete-missing-args
- with --xattrs and/or --acls.
-
- - Fixed a strange dir_depth assertion error that was caused by empty-dir
- removals and/or duplicate files in the transfer.
-
- - Fixed a problem with --info=progress2's output stats where rsync would
- only update the stats at the end of each file's transfer. It now uses
- the data that is flowing for the current file, making the stats more
- accurate and less jumpy.
-
- - Fixed an itemize bug that affected the combo of --link-dest, -X, and -n.
-
- - Fixed a problem with delete messages not appearing in the log file when
- the user didn't use --verbose.
-
- - Improve chunked xattr reading for OS X.
-
- - Removed an attempted hard-link xattr optimization that was causing a
- transfer failure. This removal is flagged in the compatibility code, so
- if a better fix can be discovered, we have a way to flip it on again.
-
- - Fixed a bug when the receiver is not configured to be able to hard link
- symlimks/devices/special-file items but the sender sent some of these
- items flagged as hard-linked.
-
- - We now generate a better error if the buffer overflows in do_mknod().
-
- - Fixed a problem reading more than 16 ACLs on some OSes.
-
- - Fixed the reading of the secrets file to avoid an infinite wait when
- the username is missing.
-
- - Fixed a parsing problem in the --usermap/--groupmap options when using
- MIN-MAX numbers.
-
- - Switched Cygwin back to using socketpair "pipes" to try to speed it up.
-
- - Added knowledge of a few new options to rrsync.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Tweaked the temp-file naming when --temp-dir=DIR is used: the temp-file
- names will not get a '.' prepended.
-
- - Added support for a new-compression idiom that does not compress all the
- matching data in a transfer. This can help rsync to use less cpu when a
- transfer has a lot of matching data, and also makes rsync compatible with
- a non-bundled zlib. See the --new-compress and --old-compress options in
- the manpage.
-
- - Added the support/rsync-no-vanished wrapper script.
-
- - Made configure more prominently mention when we failed to find yodl (in
- case the user wants to be able to generate manpages from *.yo files).
-
- - Have manpage mention how a daemon's max-verbosity setting affects info
- and debug options. Also added more clarification on backslash removals
- for excludes that contain wildcards.
-
- - Have configure check if for the attr lib (for getxattr) for those systems
- that need to link against it explicitly.
-
- - Change the early dir-creation logic to only use that idiom in an
- inc-recursive copy that is preserving directory times. e.g. using
- --omit-dir-times will avoid these early directories being created.
-
- - Fix a bug in cmp_time() that would return a wrong result if the 2 times
- differed by an amount greater than what a time_t can hold.
-
- DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
- - We now include an example systemd file (in packaging/systemd).
-
- - Tweaked configure to make sure that any intended use of the included popt
- and/or zlib code is put early in the CFLAGS.
-
-NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (28 Sep 2013)
-Protocol: 31 (changed)
-Changes since 3.0.9:
-
- OUTPUT CHANGES:
-
- - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567). See the
- --human-readable option for a way to turn it off. See also the daemon's
- "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including
- --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping
- or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is
- unchanged by default.)
-
- - The --list-only option is now affected by the --human-readable setting.
- It will display digit groupings by default, and unit suffixes if higher
- levels of readability are requested. Also, the column width for the size
- output has increased from 11 to 14 characters when human readability is
- enabled. Use --no-h to get the old-style output and column size.
-
- - The output of the --progress option has changed: the string "xfer" was
- shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk",
- both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file
- size numbers without making the total line-length longer. Also, when
- incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used
- instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done,
- letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still
- be increasing as new files are found.
-
- - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
- (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (a new line
- for protocol 31, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to
- follow the file-count, created-count, and deleted-count with a subcount
- list that shows the counts by type. The wording of the transferred count
- has also changed so that it is clearer that it is only a count of regular
- files.
-
- BUG FIXES:
-
- - Fixed a bug in the iconv code when EINVAL or EILSEQ is returned with a
- full output buffer.
-
- - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
- character to get translated incorrectly.
