- BUG FIXES:
-
- - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
- was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
- file).
-
- - 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().
-
- - 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 fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure.
-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
-
- - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a
- user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
- could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
-
- - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
- file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
- partial file.
-
- BUILD CHANGES:
-
- - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
