BUG FIXES:
- - Changed the hard-link code to never try to allocate 0 bytes of memory.
- This fixes a failure on some Operating Systems, such as AIX.
-
- - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
- the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+ - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
+ allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on OSes, such as AIX).
- Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
a non-root copy can't affect.
+ - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
+ the initial "struct acl" object. Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
in requested (and thus the option would not be useful). This lets the
user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
server.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+ or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
+
+ - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
