side when speaking an older protocol (note that older rsync versions kept
the device+inode information on both sides).
+ - A lot more --no-OPTION override options are now supported.
+
INTERNAL:
+ - The file-list sorting algorithm now uses a sort that keeps any same-
+ named items in the same order as they were specified. This allows
+ rsync to always ensure that the first of the duplicates is the one
+ that will be included in the copy. The new sort was also faster
+ than the glibc version of qsort() and mergesort() in my testing.
+
- Rsync now supports the transfer of 64-bit timestamps (time_t values).
- Fixed a build problem with older (2.x) versions of gcc.
- Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
+ - Improved J.W.'s pool_alloc routines to add a way of freeing older
+ sections of a pool's memory.
