(Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE + CAN-2002-0059) + + * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message + unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr + and resulted in the wrong data being copied. + + * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of + "unsigned int64" in rsync.h. + + * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc + on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand". + + * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client + unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632) + + * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing + slash. + + ENHANCEMENTS: + + * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that + rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link + against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync) + + * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather + than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to + what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try + to parse the output. + + * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra) + + * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work + and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus) + + * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection, + print an error message.
