NEWS for rsync 3.3.0 (6 Apr 2024)

Changes in this version:

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed a bug with --sparse --inplace where a trailing gap in the source file would not clear out the trailing data in the destination file.

• Fixed an buffer overflow in the checksum2 code if SHA1 is being used for the checksum2 algorithm.

• Fixed an issue when rsync is compiled using _FORTIFY_SOURCE so that the extra tests don't complain about a strlcpy() limit value (which was too large, even though it wasn't possible for the larger value to cause an overflow).

• Add a backtick to the list of characters that the filename quoting needs to escape using backslashes.

• Fixed a string-comparison issue in the internal handling of --progress (a locale such as tr_TR.utf-8 needed the internal triggering of --info options to use upper-case flag names to ensure that they match).

• Make sure that a local transfer marks the sender side as trusted.

• Change the argv handling to work with a newer popt library -⁠-⁠ one that likes to free more data than it used to.

• Rsync now calls OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() when compiled against an older openssl library.

• Fixed a problem in the daemon auth for older protocols (29 and before) if the openssl library is being used to compute MD4 checksums.

• Fixed rsync -VV on Cygwin -⁠-⁠ it needed a flush of stdout.

• Fixed an old stats bug that counted devices as symlinks.

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Enhanced rrsync with the -no-overwrite option that allows you to ensure that existing files on your restricted but writable directory can't be modified.

• Enhanced the manpages to mark links with .UR & .UE. If your nroff doesn't support these idioms, touch the file .md2man-force in the source directory so that md-convert gets called with the --force-link-text option, and that should ensure that your manpages are still readable even with the ignored markup.

• Some manpage improvements on the handling of [global] modules.

• Changed the mapfrom & mapto perl scripts (in the support dir) into a single python script named idmap. Converted a couple more perl scripts into python.

• Changed the mnt-excl perl script (in the support dir) into a python script.

DEVELOPER RELATED:

• Updated config.guess (timestamp 2023-01-01) and config.sub (timestamp 2023-01-21).

Looks good, did a few full local, incremental local and remote backups, no issues.
