	1	rsync 2.5.0 (2001-11-30)
	2
	3	ANNOUNCEMENTS
	4
	5	* Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
	6
	7	NEW FEATURES
	8
	9	* Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
	10
	11	* Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
	12
	13	* Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
	14	sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
	15	Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
	16
	17	* IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
	18	including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also
	19	includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the
	20	Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH
	21	portability project, and OpenBSD.
	22
	23	ENHANCEMENTS
	24
	25	* Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
	26	included or excluded and why.
	27
	28	* Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
	29	details.
	30
	31	* Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
	32
	33	* When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
	34	file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
	35	open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
	36	file to get cleaned out by another process.
	37
	38	* Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
	39	options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
	40	consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
	41	installed on the platform.
	42
	43	* More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
	44	files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
	45
	46	* MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
	47
	48	* Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
	49	explain that we do it in a secure way.
	50
	51	* --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
	52	local machine.
	53
	54	BUG FIXES:
	55
	56	* Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
	57
	58	* Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
	59
	60	* Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
	61
	62	* Give a non-0 exit code if any of the files we have been asked
	63	to transfer fail to transfer
	64
	65	* For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
	66	overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
	67	ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
	68
	69	PLATFORMS:
	70
	71	* Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
	72
	73	* autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
	74	scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
