- - The man pages now consistently refer to an rsync daemon as a "daemon"
- to distinguish it from a server in a non-daemon transfer.
+ - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
+ now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
+
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
+ - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
+ better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
+ "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was the fifth file
+ to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of
+ a total of 9999.
+
+ - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3
+ trailing stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the
+ content below the dir (dir/** would not match the dir).
+
+ - Some minor documentation improvements.
+
+ - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
