3 SECURITY FIXES:
4
5 * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
6 <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
7 careful about reading integers from the network.
8
9 BUG FIXES:
10
11 * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
12
13 * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
14
15 * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
16 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
17
18 * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
19
20 * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)

22 ENHANCEMENTS:
23
24 * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
25 connection.
26
27 * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
28 support mallinfo().
29
30 * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
31 visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
32 rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
33 file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
34
35 * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
36 but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)

38 * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
39 Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
