NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (28 Jul 2005)
Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.5:
SECURITY FIXES:
- The zlib code was upgraded to version 1.2.3 in order to make it more
secure. While the widely-publicized security problem in zlib 1.2.2 did
not affect rsync, another security problem surfaced that affects rsync's
zlib 1.1.4.
BUG FIXES:
- The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
(e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
combined with --link-dest).
- The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
totally unchanged items).
- When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
- A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
- Fixed a bug where the 'p' (permissions) itemized-changes flag might get
set too often (if some non-significant mode bits differed).
- Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
that take args (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
- Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a
normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer.
- Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or
improved.
BUILD CHANGES:
- Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
find in the /etc/group file).
- Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
-i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
a powerpc architecture (e.g. NetBSD-mapcppc). This cures display glitches
(e.g. text appearing at the wrong location). Bump package revision
because of this change.

The suPHP Apache module together with suPHP itself provides an easy way
to run PHP scripts with different users on the same server.
It provides security, because the PHP scripts are not run with the
rights of the webserver's user. In addition to that you probably won't
have to use PHP's "safe mode", which applies many restrictions on the
scripts.
this release fixed two issues

Approved by cube@
* Appending from files does not set the string for "last loaded file". That could give an accidentally save over of used library files.
* International Font support was broken for non-Latin fonts.
* Other fixes
NetBSD/i386 2.0_STABLE and current: set timezone in TEST_ENV, use
libtool to compile shared test modules and account for that in the
Tcl test scripts.
Thanks to jwise@ for the helping hand.
Main changelog entries are:
Security:
- Fixed a bug in http_encode that might have caused buffer overflows
(although not likely to be exploitable) when trying to encode strings
with non-ASCII characters.
- Newline stripping added to prevent newline-in-friendlyname attacks.
(Which allowed remote people to make BitlBee send raw custom IRC lines.)
Bugs:
- Many crashes
- Yahoo! cleanup code to avoid 100% CPU time usage
- fixes for ICQ and MSN

Main changelog entries are a function "rename-mailbox", better imap handling
(do not lose flags when uploading to an imap mailbox), and integration of
header cache patch.
Added option "hcache" to enable header cache (adds a dependancy to db4)
Approved by wiz@
Fix the automagic tuning of the number of unified diff context
lines. It was broken since previous commit to files/pkgdiff.
Also arguments '-u' and '-U NUM' to GNU diffutils 2.8.1, as seen
in NetBSD 2.0_STABLE and current, are not intended to be used
together. Hence only '-U NUM' is now specified. I did not reverted
to the '-u -NUM' form used before as it seems undesirable.
Please note that if PKGDIFF_FMT is specified in the environment,
for testing or debugging purposes, we skip the automagic tuning of
the number of unified diff context lines. The user probably wants
to try another diff format, as suggested in the commit log of
revision 1.12 of files/pkgdiff. So there is no point in adding '-U
NUM' to PKGDIFF_FMT: it may just not work. See:
$ diff -c -U 1 /dev/null /dev/null
diff: conflicting output style options
diff: Try `diff --help' for more information.
While here save a few basename(1) runs.
