+ - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
+ refused options) are now successfully transferred back to the client
+ (the server used to fail to send the message because the socket
+ wasn't in the right state for the message to get through).
+
+ - Most transfer errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now
+ returned to the user in addition to being logged (some messages are
+ intended to be daemon-only and are not affected by this).
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
+ batch-processing options.
+
+ - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
+ implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
+ that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
+ implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
+ suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
+ help).
+
+ - When the remote rsync dies, make a better effort to recover any error
+ messages it may have sent before dying (the local rsync used to just
+ die with a socket-write error).
+
+ - When using --delete and a --backup-dir that contains files that are
+ hard-linked to their destination equivalents, rsync now makes sure
+ that removed files really get removed (avoids a really weird rename()
+ behavior).
+
+ - Avoid a bogus run-time complaint about a lack of 64-bit integers when
+ the int64 type is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
+
+ - Added a configure check for open64() without mkstemp64() so that we
+ can avoid using mkstemp() when such a combination is encountered.
+ This bypasses a problem writing out large temp files on OSes such as
+ AIX and HP-UX.
+
+ - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
+ (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
+
+ - When --dry-run (-n) is used and the destination directory does not
+ exist, rsync now produces a correct report of files that would be
+ sent instead of dying with a chdir() error.
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could cause a slow-to-connect rsync daemon to die
+ with an error instead of waiting for the connection to finish.
+
+ - Fixed an ssh interaction that could cause output to be lost when the
+ user chose to combine the output of rsync's stdout and stderr (e.g.
+ using the "2>&1").
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - Added the --partial-dir=DIR option that lets you specify where to
+ (temporarily) put a partially transferred file (instead of over-
+ writing the destination file). E.g. --partial-dir=.rsync-partial
+ Also added support for the RSYNC_PARTIAL_DIR environment variable
+ that, when found, transforms a regular --partial option (such as
+ the convenient -P option) into one that also specifies a directory.
