 ### Protocol Version

-`1.3.0` — server and client must match. Mismatch results in `STATUS_ERROR`.
+`2.2.0` — server and client must match. This version adds a 64-bit XXH64 checksum to checksum-enabled `STATUS_CHECK` messages and validates the negotiated compression choice (`zstd` or `none`). Older clients and servers must not be mixed with this version; mismatch results in `STATUS_ERROR`.
+
+Config negotiation is sender-driven: the client serializes transfer options and the server applies them while receiving and writing files. `--checksum` compares size and content checksum instead of timestamps. `--compress-choice zstd` enables zstd; `none` disables it. Unsupported choices are rejected during config exchange.

TapTap	88746c3396	fix: replace strcpy with bounded memory operations (#195 ) Replace all uses of strcpy() with memcpy() + explicit NUL termination or direct assignment for safety and consistency. No behavioral changes. src/shared/file.c: - file_create(): strcpy -> memcpy + explicit NUL (buffer size known) src/shared/utils.c: - mkdir_r(): strcpy -> memcpy for path_duplicate - mkdir_r(): strcpy(path_current, "/") -> direct assignment - mkdir_r(): strcpy loop -> memcpy + direct assignment - str_dup(): strcpy -> memcpy (buffer size known) PR #196 (dry-run manifest refactoring) was already applied in a previous commit - send_dry_run_manifest() and send_delete_manifest() helpers already exist and are used by both send_files() and send_files_multithreaded().	2026-07-30 18:49:52 +02:00
