- * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
-
- * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
-
- * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
-
- * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
- to transfer fail to transfer
-
- * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
- overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
- ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
-
- PLATFORMS:
-
- * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
-
- * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
- scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.

- TESTING:
-
- * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a
- test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba
- build farm.
+ * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+ This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
+ matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
+ cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
+ what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
+ For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
+ [If your string has BOTH "*" and "**" wildcards, changing the
+ "*" wildcards to "**" will provide the old behavior in all
+ versions.]
+
+ - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
+ does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
+
+ - A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
+ the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
+ just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
+ to get the old behavior in all versions.]
+
+ - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
+ against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
+ there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
+ would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
+ "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
+ old behavior in all versions.]
+
+ * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
+ properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
+ user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
+ block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
+ Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
+ (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
+ mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
+ counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
+ file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
+ multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+
+ * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
+
+ * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
+ consistent manner.
+
+ * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
+
+ * Fixed bogus "malformed address {hostname}" message in rsyncd log
+ when checking IP address against hostnames from "hosts allow"
+ and "hosts deny" parameters in config file.
+
+ * Print heap statistics when verbose >= 2 instead of when >= 1.
+
+ * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
+ that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
+ Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+ to not get backed up.
+
+ * When the backup code makes new directories, create them with mode
+ 0700 instead of 0755 (since the directory permissions in the
+ backup tree are not yet copied from the main tree).
+
+ * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
+
+ * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+ what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
+ using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
+ special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
+ --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
+ same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a
+ regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+ readdir fail caused by network filesystem issues and truncated
+ files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings
+ if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt.
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
+ supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
+ defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a
+ lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides.
+ Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value
+ we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).
+ (Wayne Davison)
