NEWS for rsync 3.2.2 BUG FIXES: - Avoid a crash when a daemon module enables `transfer logging` without setting a `log format` value. - Fixed installing rsync-ssl script from an alternate build dir. - Fixed the updating of configure.sh from an alternate build dir. - Apple requires the asm function name to begin with an underscore. - Avoid a test failure in the daemon test when --atimes is disabled. ENHANCEMENTS: - Allow the server side to restrict checksum & compression choices via the same environment variables the client uses. The env vars can be divided into "client list & server list" by the "`&`" char or the same list can apply to both. - Simplify how the negotiation environment variables apply when interacting with an older rsync and also when a list contains only invalid names. - Do not allow a negotiated checksum or compression choice of "none" unless the user authorized it via an environment variable or command-line option. - Added the `--max-alloc=SIZE` option to be able to override the memory allocator's sanity-check limit. It defaults to 1G (as before) but the error message when exceeding it specifically mentions the new option so that you can differentiate an out-of-memory error from a failure of this limit. It also allows you to specify the value via the RSYNC_MAX_ALLOC environment variable. - Add the "open atime" daemon parameter to allow a daemon to always enable or disable the use of O_NOATIME (the default is to let the user control it). - The default systemd config was changed to remove the `ProtectHome=on` setting since rsync is often used to serve files in /home and /root and this seemed a bit too strict. Feel free to use `systemctl edit rsync` to add that restriction (or maybe `ProtectHome=read-only`), if you like. See the 3.2.0 NEWS for the other restrictions that were added compared to 3.1.3. - The memory allocation functions now automatically check for a failure and die when out of memory. This eliminated some caller-side check-and-die code and added some missing sanity-checking of allocations. - Put optimizations into their own list in the `--version` output. - Improved the man page a bit more. PACKAGING RELATED: - Prepared the checksum code for an upcoming xxHash release that provides new XXH3 (64-bit) & XXH128 (128-bit) checksum routines. These will not be compiled into rsync until the xxhash v0.8.0 include files are installed on the build host, and that release is a few weeks away at the time this was written. So, if it's now the future and you have packaged and installed xxhash-0.8.0-devel, a fresh rebuild of rsync 3.2.2 will give you the new checksum routines. Just make sure that the new rsync package depends on xxhash >= 0.8.0. DEVELOPER RELATED: - Moved the version number out of configure.ac into its own version.h file so that we don't need to reconfigure just because the version number changes. - Moved the daemon parameter list into daemon-parm.txt so that an awk script can create the interrelated structs and accessors that loadparm.c needs. |
