BUG FIXES:
+ - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+
+ - 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.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
transfer.
+ - 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).
+
INTERNAL:
- Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
