5 BUG FIXES:
6
92d706a2 7 - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
f8722dba 8 allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).

10 - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
11 of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
12

WD
13 - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created. This
14 particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
15 be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
16 the --remove-source-files was also specified.
17
581c830c
WD
18 - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
19 destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
20 a non-root copy can't affect.
21

22 - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
23 incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.

25 - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
26 this no longer interferes with deletions in the root-dir of the transfer.
27
92d706a2
WD
28 - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
29 the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.

31 - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.

33 ENHANCEMENTS:
34
9e58ef45 35 - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
f8722dba 36 is requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
9e58ef45 37 user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
f8722dba 38 server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.

40 DEVELOPER RELATED:
41
42 - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
43 or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
44
45 - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
