BUG FIXES:
+ - If rsync is interrupted via a handled signal (such as SIGINT), it will
+ once again clean-up its temp file from the destination dir.
+
- An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that each symlink's
value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info
of the module's path. These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the

receiving files.)
+ - Fixed a bug in the %f logfile escape when receiving files: the
+ destination path is now included in the output (e.g. you can now tell
+ when a user specifies a subdir inside a module).

+ - If the receiving side fails to create a directory, it will now skip

+ will now allow a hard-link to be created to a matching link-dest file

- The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - Added the --log-file=FILE option that can be used to tell any rsync to
- output what it is doing to a log file. This works with a client rsync, a
- non-daemon server rsync (see the man page for instructions), and also
- allows the overriding of the rsyncd.conf setting when starting a daemon.
+ - Added the --log-file=FILE and --log-file-format=FORMAT options. These
+ can be used to tell any rsync to output what it is doing to a log file.
+ They work with a client rsync, a non-daemon server rsync (see the man
+ page for instructions), and also allows the overriding of rsyncd.conf
+ settings when starting a daemon.
+
+ - The --log-format option was renamed to be --out-format to avoid confusing
+ it with affecting the log-file output. (The old option remains as an
+ alias for the new to preserve backward compatibility.)
+
+ - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in
+ the daemon's config file.
+
+ - Added the "munge symlinks" daemon setting to enable the old-style
+ tweaking of "unsafe" symlinks, regardless of how "use chroot" is set.
