- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
-
- * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
- destination field.
-
- * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
- rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
- unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
- (J.W. Schultz)
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of group IDs for non-root
+ users: (1) It properly handles a group that the sender didn't
+ have a name for (it would previously skip changing the group
+ on any files in that group). (2) If --numeric-ids is used,
+ rsync no longer attempts to set groups that the user doesn't
+ have the permission to set.
