- - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
- that already exists in the --backup-dir.
-
- - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
- setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
- mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
-
- - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
- the sender, and the file-list is large.
-
- - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
- FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
- necessary.
-
- - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
-
- - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
-
- - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
- that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
+ - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
+ receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
+ never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
+ the EOF. (This can happen when using stunnel).
