- - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
- attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
- taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+ - Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option:
+ it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used
+ to successfully update a destination file.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - Added the --log-file=FILE and --log-file-format=FORMAT options. These
+ can be used to tell any rsync to output what it is doing to a log file.
+ They work with a client rsync, a non-daemon server rsync (see the man
+ page for instructions), and also allows the overriding of rsyncd.conf
+ settings when starting a daemon.
+
+ - The --log-format option was renamed to be --out-format to avoid confusing
+ it with affecting the log-file output. (The old option remains as an
+ alias for the new to preserve backward compatibility.)
