What's new in Rsync 3.0.9
Nov 17, 2012- BUG FIXES:
- Fix a crash bug in checksum scanning when --inplace is used.
- Fix a hang if a hard-linked file cannot be opened by the sender (e.g. if it has no read permission).
- Fix preservation of a symlink's system xattrs (e.g. selinux) on Linux.
- Fix a memory leak in the xattr code.
- Fixed a bug with --delete-excluded when a filter merge file has a rule that specifies a receiver-only side restriction.
- Fix a bug with the modifying of unwritable directories.
- Fix --fake-super's interaction with --link-dest same-file comparisons.
- Fix the updating of the curr_dir buffer to avoid a duplicate slash.
- Fix the directory permissions on an implied dot-dir when using --relative (e.g. /outside/path/././send/path).
- Fixed some too-long sleeping instances when using --bwlimit.
- Fixed when symlink ownership difference-checking gets compiled into unchanged_attrs().
- Improved the socket-error reporting when multiple protocols fail.
- Fixed a case where a socket error could reference just-freed memory.
- Failing to use a password file that was specified on the command-line is now a fatal error.
- Fix the non-root updating of directories that don't have the read and/or execute permission.
- Make daemon-excluded file errors more error-like.
- Fix a compilation issue on older C compilers (due to a misplaced var declaration).
- Make configure avoid finding socketpair on cygwin.
- Avoid trying to reference SO_BROADCAST if the OS doesn't support it.
- Fix some issues with the post-processing of the man pages.
- Fixed the user home-dir handling in the support/lsh script.
- Some minor manpage improvements.
New in Rsync 3.0.4 (Sep 18, 2008)
- This is a bug-fix release with the only enhancement being the adding of a way to interact with an overly-restrictive server that refuses rsync's behind-the-scenes use of the -e option.
