Op de website van Samba is een nieuwe ontwikkeluitgave van rsync verschenen, met ditmaal 3.1.3 als versieaanduiding. Dit programma voorziet in een snelle manier om bestanden geheel of gedeeltelijk tussen verschillende servers en locaties te synchroniseren. Het wordt dan ook veel op de achtergrond toegepast in allerlei synchronisatieprogramma's, maar kan bijvoorbeeld ook voor de offsiteback-up van fileservers gebruikt worden. Wie meer wil weten, kan de beschikbare documentatie doorlezen, waarin ook een aantal tutorials wordt vermeld. De aankondiging is op deze pagina na te lezen en de lijst met aanpassingen ziet er als volgt uit:
SECURITY FIXESBUG 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.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- 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.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- 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.
- 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.
