can make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable.

+ output a "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit
status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do
this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed
to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior: we
processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
newline.

- When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
the file by the destination filename.
- Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
- generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
+ generator hasn't created a needed destination directory yet.
- Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
- Fixed a compatibility problem when using --cvs-ignore (-C) and
sending files to an older rsync without using --delete.
+ - Make sure that a "- !" or "+ !" include/exclude pattern does not
+ trigger the list-clearing action that is reserved for "!".
+
+ - Avoid a timeout in the generator when the sender/receiver aren't
+ handling the generator's checksum output quickly enough.
+
- Fixed the ommission of some directories in the delete processing when
--relative (-R) was combined with a source path that had a trailing
slash.
+ - Make sure that --max-size doesn't affect a device or a symlink.
+
+ - Make sure that a system with a really small MAXPATHLEN does not cause
+ the buffers in readfd_unbuffered() to be too small to receive normal
+ messages. (This mainly affected Cygwin.)
+
+ - If a source filename ends with "..", treat it as if "../" had been
+ specified (so that we don't copy files to the parent dir of the
+ destination).
+
+ - If --delete is combined with a file-listing rsync command (i.e. no
+ transfer is happening), avoid outputting a warning that we couldn't
+ delete anything.
+
+ - If --stats is specified with --delete-after, ensure that all the
+ "deleting" messages are output before the statistics.
+
+ - Improved one "if" in the deletion code that was only checking errno
+ for ENOTEMPTY when it should have also been checking for EEXIST.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver
can get started on the files sooner rather than later.
+ - Improved the keep-alive code to handle a long silence between the
+ sender and the receiver that can occur when the sender is receiving
+ the checksum data for a large file.
+
- Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
really did expect the socket to close).
- If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
- back to using syslog. This is better than a (typically) totally
- silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
+ back to using syslog (and log an appropriate warning). This is
+ better than what was typically a totally silent failure (since a
+ daemon is not usually run with the --no-detach option that was
+ necessary to see the error on stderr).
- The man pages now consistently refer to an rsync daemon as a "daemon"
to distinguish it from a server in a non-daemon transfer.
+ - Made a small change to the rrsync script (restricted rsync -- in the
+ support dir) to make a read-only server reject all --remove-* options
+ when sending files (to future-proof it against the possibility of
+ other similar options being added at some point).
+
INTERNAL:
- - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+ - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") to enable isprint() to better
+ discern which filename characters need to be escaped in messages.
+
+ - Improved the naming of the log-file open/reopen/close functions.
+
+ - Removed some protocol compatibility code that was only needed to help
+ someone running a pre-release of 2.6.4.
BUILD CHANGES:
- Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
+
+ - Some minor enhancements to the test scripts.
+
+ - Added a few new diffs to the patches dir, including a patch that
+ enables the optional copying of extended attributes.
