- - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
- (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
-
- - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
- items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
- allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
-
- - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
- phase.
-
- - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
- the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
-
- - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
- for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
- "vanished".
-
- - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
- refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
- to just exit).
-
- - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
- batch-processing options.
+ - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
+ unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
+ directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
+ ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
+ destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
