NEWS for rsync 3.0.8 (26 Mar 2011) Protocol: 30 (unchanged) Changes since 3.0.7: BUG FIXES: - Fixed two buffer-overflow issues: one where a directory path that is exactly MAXPATHLEN was not handled correctly, and one handling a --backup-dir that is extra extra large. - Fixed a data-corruption issue when preserving hard-links without preserving file ownership, and doing deletions either before or during the transfer (CVE-2011-1097). This fixes some assert errors in the hard-linking code, and some potential failed checksums (via -c) that should have matched. - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list and the transfer is using ACLs or xattrs. - Fixed a hang if a really large file is being processed by an rsync that can't handle 64-bit numbers. Rsync will now complain about the file being too big and skip it. - For devices and special files, we now avoid gathering useless ACL and/or xattr information for files that aren't being copied. (The un-copied files are still put into the file list, but there's no need to gather data that is not going to be used.) This ensures that if the user uses --no-D, that rsync can't possibly complain about being unable to gather extended information from special files that are in the file list (but not in the transfer). - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash. This avoids a potential error where a filename could be interpreted as a (usually invalid) option. - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for --skip-compress. - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync will now disallow access to that module. - If the destination arg is an empty string, it will be treated as a reference to the current directory (as 2.x used to do). - If rsync was compiled with a newer time-setting function (such as lutimes), rsync will fall-back to an older function (such as utimes) on a system where the newer function is not around. This helps to make the rsync binary more portable in mixed-OS-release situations. - Fixed a batch-file writing bug that would not write out the full set of compatibility flags that the transfer was using. This fixes a potential protocol problem for a batch file that contains a sender-side I/O error: it would have been sent in a way that the batch-reader wasn't expecting. - Some improvements to the hard-linking code to ensure that device-number hashing is working right, and to supply more information if the hard-link code fails. - The --inplace code was improved to not search for an impossible checksum position. The quadruple-verbose chunk[N] message will now mention when an inplace chunk was handled by a seek rather than a read+write. - Improved ACL mask handling, e.g. for Solaris. - Fixed a bug that prevented --numeric-ids from disabling the translation of user/group IDs for ACLs. - Fixed an issue where an xattr and/or ACL transfer that used an alt-dest option (e.g. --link-dest) could output an error trying to itemize the changes against the alt-dest directory's xattr/ACL info but was instead trying to access the not-yet-existing new destination directory. - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the file. - The --link-dest checking for identical symlinks now avoids considering attribute differences that cannot be changed on the receiver. - Avoid trying to read/write xattrs on certain file types for certain OSes. Improved configure to set NO_SYMLINK_XATTRS, NO_DEVICE_XATTRS, and/or NO_SPECIAL_XATTRS defines in config.h. - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages. - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable. - Avoid re-setting xattrs on a hard-linked file w/the same xattrs. - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't user writable. - Fixed a bug where a sparse file could have its last sparse block turned into a real block when rsync sets the file size (requires ftruncate). - If a temp-file name is too long, rsync now avoids truncating the name in the middle of adjacent high-bit characters. This prevents a potential filename error if the filesystem doesn't allow a name to contain an invalid multi-byte sequence. - If a muli-protocol socket connection fails (i.e., when contacting a daemon), we now report all the failures, not just the last one. This avoids losing a relevant error (e.g. an IPv4 connection-refused error) that happened before the final error (e.g. an IPv6 protocol-not-supported error). - Generate a transfer error if we try to call chown with a -1 for a uid or a gid (which is not settable). - Fixed the working of --force when used with --one-file-system. - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will reject an attempt to supply one (can configure --with-included-popt if your system's popt library doesn't yet have this fix). - A couple minor option tweaks to the support/rrsync script, and also some regex changes that make vim highlighting happier. - Fixed some issues in the support/mnt-excl script. - Various manpage improvements. ENHANCEMENTS: - Added ".hg/" to the default cvs excludes (see -C & --cvs-exclude). DEVELOPER RELATED: - Use lchmod() whenever it is available (not just on symlinks). - A couple fixes to the socketpair_tcp() routine. - Updated the helper scripts in the packaging subdirectory. - Renamed configure.in to configure.ac. - Fixed configure's checking for iconv routines for newer OS X versions. - Fixed the testsuite/xattrs.test script on OS X.
