Protocol: 29 (unchanged)

+Changes since 2.6.9:
BUG FIXES:
- - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+ - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+ it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
- - 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.
+ - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+ option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+ matching items.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
- that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
- files).
-
- - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
- preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+ - ...
- - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
- and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
- per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
- transfer.
+ INTERNAL:
- - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
- the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
- should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
- rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
- replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
- dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+ - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+ easier without forcing variables via casts.
- INTERNAL:
+ - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+ string-handling functions.
- - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
- MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
- with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
