+rsync changes since last release
- SECURITY FIXES:

+ ENHANCEMENTS:
- BUG FIXES:
+ * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
- * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+ * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+ Zimmerman)

+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
+ L. Allen, Martin Pool)
- * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
- 64-bit dev_t or ino_t.

- * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+ * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
- * Fix for device nodes. (dann frazier) (Debian #129135)

- ENHANCEMENTS:
+ http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489
- * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
- connection.
+ INTERNAL:
- * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
- support mallinfo().
+ * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
+ Pool, Nelson Beebe)
- * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
- visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
- rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
- file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+ * More test cases. (Martin Pool)
- * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
- but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
-
- * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
- Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
