+ - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions
+ to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx
+
+ - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
+ which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+
+ - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
+ now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
+
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
+ - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
+ better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
+ "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was the fifth file
+ to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of
+ a total of 9999.
+
+ - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3
+ trailing stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the
+ content below the dir (dir/** would not match the dir).
+
+ - If the --itemize-changes (-i) option is repeated, rsync now includes
+ unchanged files in the itemized output (similar to -vv, but without
+ all the other verbose messages that can get in the way). Of course,
+ the client must be version 2.6.7 for this to work, but the remote
+ rsync only needs to be 2.6.7 if you're pushing files.
+
+ - Some minor documentation improvements.
+
+ - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
