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 ENHANCEMENTS:
19
20 * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
21 support mallinfo().
22
23 * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
24 visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
25 rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
26 file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
