5 BUG FIXES:
6
5df89a1a
WD
7 - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
8 crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
9 Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
10
11 - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
12 options specified.
13
14 - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
15 recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
a76ba8b4 16 "redo" files properly (and without hanging).

17
18 - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
19
a76ba8b4
WD
20 - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
21 destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
22 when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
23
b292021e 24 - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside a --files-from
ccdc2efd
WD
25 file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory.
26
b292021e 27 - Fixed a bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories when
e401b304
WD
28 incremental recursion is active.
29
b292021e 30 - Fixed a hard to trigger hang when using --remove-source-files.

a76ba8b4
WD
32 - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
33
5df89a1a
WD
34 - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
35
36 - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
37 confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
a76ba8b4 38
7d9e30d3
WD
39 - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of
40 getnameinfo().
41
b292021e
WD
42 - Fixed a bug when using --sparse on a sparse file that has over 2GB of
43 consecutive sparse data.
44
b64ae8b3
WD
45 - Avoid a hang when using at least 3 --verbose options on a transfer with a
46 client sender (which includes local copying).
47
9938bad3
WD
48 - Fixed a problem with --delete-delay reporting an error when it was ready
49 to remove a directory that was now gone.
50
b292021e
WD
51 - Got rid of a bunch of "warn_unused_result" compiler warnings.
52
53 - If an ftruncate() on a received file fails, it now causes a partial-
54 transfer warning.
55
56 - Allow a path with a leading "//" to be preserved (CYGWIN only).
57

58 ENHANCEMENTS:
59
60 - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
61 update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
62 particular symlink idiom.
