- - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
- item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
+ - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
+ instead of just updating the permissions.
+
+ - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+ we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+ hostspec as a filename.
+
+ - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+ permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+ the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
