rsync: updated to 3.2.3

NEWS for rsync 3.2.3

Changes in this version:

BUG FIXES:

Fixed a bug in the xattr code that was freeing the wrong object when trying to \ 
cleanup the xattr list.

Fixed a bug in the xattr code that was not leaving room for the \ 
"rsync." prefix in some instances where it needed to be added.

Restored the ability to use ‑‑bwlimit=0 to specify no bandwidth limit. (It \ 
was accidentally broken in 3.2.2.)

Fix a bug when combining ‑‑delete-missing-args with ‑‑no-implied-dirs \ 
& ‑R where rsync might create the destination path of a missing arg. The \ 
code also avoids some superfluous warnings for nested paths of removed args.

Fixed an issue where hard-linked devices could cause the rdev_major value to get \ 
out of sync between the sender and the receiver, which could cause a device to \ 
get created with the wrong major value in its major,minor pair.

Rsync now complains about a missing ‑‑temp-dir before starting any file \ 
transfers.

A completely empty source arg is now a fatal error. This doesn't change the \ 
handling of implied dot-dir args such as "localhost:" and such.

ENHANCEMENTS:

Allow ‑‑max-alloc=0 to specify no limit to the alloc sanity check.

Allow ‑‑block-size=SIZE to specify the size using units (e.g. "100K").

The name of the id-0 user & group are now sent to the receiver along with \ 
the other user/group names in the transfer (instead of assuming that both sides \ 
have the same id-0 names).

Added the ‑‑stop-after=MINS and ‑‑stop-at=DATE_TIME options (with the \ 
‑‑time-limit=MINS option accepted as an alias for ‑‑stop-after). This is \ 
an enhanced version of the time-limit patch from the patches repo.

Added the name converter daemon parameter to make it easier to convert user \ 
& group names inside a chrooted daemon module. This is based on the \ 
nameconverter patch with some improvements, including a tweak to the request \ 
protocol (so if you used this patch in the past, be sure to update your \ 
converter script to use newlines instead of null chars).

Added ‑‑crtimes (‑N) option for preserving the file's create time (I \ 
believe that this is macOS only at the moment).

Added ‑‑mkpath option to tell rsync that it should create a non-existing \ 
path component of the destination arg.

Added ‑‑stderr=errors|all|client to replace the ‑‑msgs2stderr and \ 
‑‑no-msgs2stderr options (which are still accepted). The default use of \ 
stderr was changed to be ‑‑stderr=errors where all the processes that have \ 
stderr available output directly to stderr, which should help error messages get \ 
to the user more quickly, especially when doing a push (which includes local \ 
copying). This also allows rsync to exit quickly when a receiver failure occurs, \ 
since rsync doesn't need to try to keep the connection alive long enough for the \ 
fatal error to go from the receiver to the generator to the sender. The old \ 
default can be requested via ‑‑stderr=client. Also changed is that a \ 
non-default stderr mode is conveyed to the remote rsync (using the older option \ 
names) instead of requiring the user to use ‑‑remote-option (‑M) to tell \ 
the remote rsync what to do.

Added the ability to specify "@netgroup" names to the hosts allow and \ 
hosts deny daemon parameters. This is a finalized version of the netgroup-auth \ 
patch from the patches repo.

Rsync can now hard-link symlinks on FreeBSD due to it making ues of the linkat() \ 
function when it is available.

Output file+line info on out-of-memory & overflow errors while also avoiding \ 
the output of alternate build-dir path info that is not useful to the user.

Change configure to know that Cygwin supports Linux xattrs.

Improved the testsuite on FreeBSD & Cygwin.

Added some compatibility code for HPE NonStop platforms.

Improved the INSTALL.md info.

Added a few more suffixes to the default skip-compress list.

Improved configure's error handling to notify about several issues at once \ 
instead of one by one (for the newest optional features).

INTERNAL:

Use a simpler overflow check idiom in a few spots.

Use a C99 Flexible Array for a trailing variable-size filename in a struct (with \ 
a fallback to the old 1-char string kluge for older compilers).
