- * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
- multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.

+ - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
+ fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
+ sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
+ systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
+ to maintain for the future). The new code generates just one data
+ file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch via
+ stdin over a remote shell. Also, the old requirement of forcing the
+ same fixed checksum-seed for all batch processing has been removed.
