+# 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.
+
+ - Fixed a bogus `vanished file` error if some files were specified with `./`
+ prefixes and others were not.
+
+ - Fixed a bug in `--sparse` where an extra gap could get inserted after a
+ partial write.
+
+ - Changed the way `--progress` overwrites its prior output in order to make it
+ nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
+
+ - Improved the propagation of abnormal-exit error messages. This should help
+ the client side to receive errors from the server when it is exiting
+ abnormally, and should also avoid dying with an `connection unexpectedly
+ closed` exit when the closed connection is really expected.
+
+ - The sender now checks each file it plans to remove to ensure that it hasn't
+ changed from the first stat's info. This helps to avoid losing file data
+ when the user is not using the option in a safe manner.
+
+ - Fixed a data-duplication bug in the compress option that made compression
+ less efficient. This improves protocol 31 onward, while behaving in a
+ compatible (buggy) manner with older rsync protocols.
+
+ - When creating a temp-file, rsync is now a bit smarter about it dot-char
+ choices, which can fix a problem on OS X with names that start with `..`.
+
+ - Rsync now sets a cleanup flag for `--inplace` and `--append` transfers that
+ will flush the write buffer if the transfer aborts. This ensures that more
+ received data gets written out to the disk on an aborted transfer (which is
+ quite helpful on a slow, flaky connection).
+
+ - The reads that `map_ptr()` now does are aligned on 1K boundaries. This helps
+ some filesystems and/or files that don't like unaligned reads.
+
+ - Fix an issue in the msleep() function if time jumps backwards.
+
+ - Fix daemon-server module-name splitting bug where an arg would get split
+ even if `--protect-args` was used.
+
+### ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - Added the `--remote-option=OPT` (`-M OPT`) command-line option that is
+ useful for things like sending a remote `--log-file=FILE` or `--fake-super`
+ option.
+
+ - Added the `--info=FLAGS` and `--debug=FLAGS` options to allow finer-grained
+ control over what is output. Added an extra type of `--progress` output
+ using `--info=progress2`.
+
+ - The `--msgs2stderr` option can help with debugging rsync by allowing the
+ debug messages to get output to stderr rather than travel via the socket
+ protocol.
+
+ - Added the `--delete-missing-args` and `--ignore-missing-args` options to
+ either delete or ignore user-specified files on the receiver that are
+ missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-specified files
+ generates an error).
+
+ - Added a `T` (terabyte) category to the `--human-readable` size suffixes.
+
+ - Added the `--usermap`/`--groupmap`/`--chown` options for manipulating file
+ ownership during the copy.
+
+ - Added the `%C` escape to the log-output handling, which will output the MD5
+ checksum of any transferred file, or all files if `--checksum` was specified
+ (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
+
+ - Added the `reverse lookup` parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+ allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
+
+ - Added a forward-DNS lookup for the daemon's hosts allow/deny config. Can be
+ disabled via `forward lookup` parameter (defaults to enabled).
+
+ - Added a way for more than one group to be specified in the daemon's config
+ file, including a way to specify that you want all of the specified user's
+ groups without having to name them. Also changed the daemon to complain
+ about an inability to set explicitly-specified uid/gid values, even when not
+ run by a super-user.
+
+ - The daemon now tries to send the user the error messages from the pre-xfer
+ exec script when it fails.
+
+ - Improved the use of alt-dest options into an existing hierarchy of files: If
+ a match is found in an alt-dir, it takes precedence over an existing file.
+ (We'll need to wait for a future version before attribute-changes on
+ otherwise unchanged files are safe when using an existing hierarchy.)
+
+ - Added per-user authorization options and group-authorization support to the
+ daemon's `auth users` parameter.
+
+ - Added a way to reference environment variables in a daemon's config file
+ (using %VAR% references).
+
+ - When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file, the
+ update should now be done in an atomic manner.
+
+ - Avoid re-sending xattr info for hard-linked files w/the same xattrs
+ (protocol 31).
+
+ - The backup code was improved to use better logic maintaining the backup
+ directory hierarchy. Also, when a file is being backed up, rsync tries to
+ hard-link it into place so that the upcoming replacement of the destination
+ file will be atomic (for the normal, non-inplace logic).
+
+ - Added the ability to synchronize nano-second modified times.
+
+ - Added a few more default suffixes for the `dont compress` settings.
+
+ - Added the checking of the `RSYNC_PROTECT_ARGS` environment variable to allow
+ the default for the `--protect-args` command-line option to be overridden.
+
+ - Added the `--preallocate` command-line option.
+
+ - Allow `--password-file=-` to read the password from stdin (filename `-`).
+
+ - Rsync now comes packaged with an rsync-ssl helper script that can be used to
+ contact a remote rsync daemon using a piped-stunnel command. It also
+ includes an stunnel config file to run the server side to support ssl daemon
+ connections. See the packaging/lsb/rsync.spec file for one way to package
+ the resulting files. (Suggestions for how to make this even easier to
+ install & use are welcomed.)
+
+ - Improved the speed of some `--inplace` updates when there are lots of
+ identical checksum blocks that end up being unusable.
+
+ - Added the `--outbuf=N|L|B` option for choosing the output buffering.
+
+ - Repeating the `--fuzzy` option now causes the code to look for fuzzy matches
+ inside alt-dest directories too.
+
+ - The `--chmod` option now supports numeric modes, e.g. `--chmod=644,D755`
+
+ - Added some Solaris xattr code.
+
+ - Made an rsync daemon (the listening process) exit with a 0 status when it
+ was signaled to die. This helps launchd.
+
+ - Improved the `RSYNC_*` environment variables for the pre-xfer exec script:
+ when a daemon is sent multiple request args, they are now joined into a
+ single return value (separated by spaces) so that the `RSYNC_REQUEST`
+ environment variable is accurate for any `pre-xfer exec`. The values in
+ `RSYNC_ARG#` vars are no longer truncated at the `.` arg (prior to the
+ request dirs/files), so that all the requested values are also listed
+ (separately) in `RSYNC_ARG#` variables.
+
+### EXTRAS:
+
+ - Added an `instant-rsyncd` script to the support directory, which makes it
+ easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
+
+ - Added the `mapfrom` and `mapto` scripts to the support directory, which
+ makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
+ passwd/group files from another machine.
+
+ - There's a new, improved version of the lsh script in the support dir: it's
+ written in perl and supports `-u` without resorting to using sudo (when run
