# NEWS for rsync 3.4.4 (8 Jun 2026)
## Changes in this version:
This is a conservative point release that backports regression fixes
on top of 3.4.3. No new features are included.
### BUG FIXES:
- Honour a relative alt-basis directory (e.g. `--link-dest=../sibling`,
`--copy-dest`, `--compare-dest`) on a daemon receiver running with
`use chroot = no`. Such a path is re-anchored at the module root but
was then rejected by the receiver's secure open; it now works where
kernel-enforced confinement is available. See the PORTABILITY note
below for the platform limitation. Fixes #915.
- sender: open a module-root-absolute path for a `path = /` module so a
daemon serving the filesystem root can satisfy absolute request
paths again. Fixes #897.
- flist: accept the missing-args mode-0 entry in recv_file_entry.
Fixes #910.
- receiver: fix a false "failed verification -- update discarded" when
resuming a delta transfer with an absolute `--partial-dir`.
- receiver: fix a NULL dereference on the delta discard path.
- generator: cap the block s2length at the negotiated checksum length.
- main: fix `--mkpath` with `--dry-run` for a file-to-file copy.
Fixes #880.
- daemon: un-backslash escaped option args. Fixes #829.
- token: drain the matched-block insert deflate. Fixes #951.
- Fix the "update skips a file of a different type" case and the
daemon upload delete stats.
- alloc: revert "zero all new memory from allocations". Fixes #959.
- Always clear the stat buffer and validate nanoseconds before use.
### PORTABILITY / BUILD:
- The relative alt-basis fix for daemon receivers (#915) relies on
kernel "stay below dirfd" path resolution -- `openat2(RESOLVE_BENEATH)`
on Linux 5.6+, or `openat()` with `O_RESOLVE_BENEATH` on FreeBSD 13+
and macOS 15+. On platforms that lack it (Solaris, OpenBSD, NetBSD,
Cygwin and older Linux) `secure_relative_open()` deliberately rejects
any path with a `..` component, so relative alt-basis directories
remain unavailable there -- function traded for safety, matching the
trade-off already documented for the #715 fix. Absolute alt-basis
paths are unaffected on every platform.
- openat2 is now autodetected at configure time (HAVE_OPENAT2): the
`openat2(RESOLVE_BENEATH)` resolver is compiled in only when both
`<linux/openat2.h>` and the `SYS_openat2` syscall number are present,
fixing the build on older kernels/headers. Fixes #924, #905, #900,
#904.
- Fall back to do_mknod() when mknodat() / mkfifoat() are unavailable.
Fixes #896.
- Install generated manpages correctly in an out-of-tree build.
### DEVELOPER RELATED:
- Added a CI workflow that builds this stable branch and runs the
`v34-stable-testsuite` regression suite against the built binary,
giving regression coverage without importing the full master test
suite into the stable branch.
- Added a check-progs target for fleettest and extended the build
workflows to run on `*-stable` release branches.
