- Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
- - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure.
+ - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
- - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
-
- - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file (promoted from the
- patches dir).
-
- Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
- that it copies identical files.
+ that it includes copies of identical files.
- - Added support for multiple --*-dest options (promoted from the
- patches dir).
+ - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
+ --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
+ patches dir and enhanced.)
+
+ - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
- The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a
- user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
- could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.

- The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
+ - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from

- In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
partial file.
