lrzsz (0.13.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium Upstream removed several options and features in lrzsz 0.13: * rz no longer executes commands sent by the remote side. The options -C, --allow-commands and --allow-remote-commands are rejected. * rz no longer pipes received files into a command when it is invoked under a suffixed name such as rztar. * Both programs dropped -U/--unrestrict. To keep a partially received file after a transfer error, use the new rz option --keep-incomplete. * The TCP mode (--tcp-server, --tcp-client), the timesync protocol (-S/--timesync) and the DOS file name conversion of sz (-d/--dot-to-slash) are gone. * sz no longer sends the "rz\r" auto-download trigger. Terminal programs that start a download only on that string have to look for the ZMODEM ZRQINIT frame instead. * In very restricted mode rz also refuses names with a leading dot in a directory component, such as dir/.subdir/file. DSZLOG support has been removed. It was a Debian-only addition since 0.12.21-11 and hooked into the signal handlers of rz and sz, which upstream reworked for 0.13. Both programs now offer -J FILE (--journal FILE), which logs one key=value line per transferred file; software expecting the DSZ log format needs a converter. Requests to bring DSZLOG back should go to upstream at https://github.com/UweOhse/lrzsz.
