3 ENHANCEMENTS:
4
5 * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
6
7 * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
8 Zimmerman)
9
10 * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
11 specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
12 server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
13 as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
14
15 * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
16 destination field.
17
18 * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
19 rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
20
21 * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
22 unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
23 (J.W. Schultz)

25 BUG FIXES:
26
27 * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
28 L. Allen, Martin Pool)
29
30 * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
31 in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
32 timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
33
34 * Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
35
36 * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
37
38 * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
39 contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
40 list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
41
42 INTERNAL:
43
44 * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
45 Pool, Nelson Beebe)
46
47 * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
48
49 * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
