ENHANCEMENTS:
that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
Wayne Davison)
+ * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+ to not get backed up.
+
+ * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
+
+ * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+ what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
+ using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
+ special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
+ --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
+ same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
+ regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+ readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated
+ files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
+
INTERNAL:
* Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
* Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
+ * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
+ lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
+ Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
+ we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
+ (Wayne Davison)
