11 - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
12 receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
13 never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
14 the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).

21 - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
22 easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.

24 - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
25 attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info)

32 - A new patch was added: log-file.diff. This contains an early version of
33 a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
8b3e964d 34 actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
