- The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
+ - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
+ referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the
+ user and group of a symlink.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
partial file.
+ - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
+ files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
+ once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses
+ --link-dest.
+
BUILD CHANGES:
- Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
