NEWS for rsync 3.1.3 (UNRELEASED) 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. 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.
