Hello mirror operators

We released ftpsync 20171017 today.  This is a security update, it fixes
CVE-2017-8805.

rsync was called without --safe-links.  This allowed the creating of
symlinks to files outside of the mirrored tree.  If the mirror also
provides access via HTTP, the server will usually follow symlinks and
allow access to arbitrary files or directories.

Other notable changes are:

* We added support for rsync-over-SSH,

* We tried to really add documentation that is not example configs.
  Several parts are still missing, but we are getting there.

You can find the new ftpsync version on a Debian mirror near you.

Regards,
Bastian
