-rsync 2.4.7 (sometime in 2001, maybe :)
-
- ANNOUNCEMENTS
-
- * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
-
- NEW FEATURES
-
- * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
-
- * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
-
- * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
- sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
- Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
-
- ENHANCEMENTS
-
- * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
- included or excluded and why.
-
- * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
- details.
-
- * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
-
- * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
- file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
- open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
- file to get cleaned out by another process.
-
- * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
- options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
- consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
- installed on the platform.
-
- * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
- files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
-
- * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
-
- * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
- explain that we do it in a secure way.
-
- * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
- local machine.
