5 BUG FIXES:

WD
7 - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
8 we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
9 hostspec as a filename.
10

11 - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
12 permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
13 the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.

15 ENHANCEMENTS:

17 - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
18 that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
19 files).

21 - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
22 preservation of attributes on symlinks.

24 - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
25 and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
26 per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
27 transfer.

29 INTERNAL:

31 - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
32 MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
33
34 - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
35 with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
