- - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
- for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
- "vanished".
-
- - The --copy-links (-L) option no longer has the side-effect of telling
- the receiving side to follow symlinks. See the --keep-dirlinks
- option (mentioned below) for a way to specify that behavior.
-
- - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
- refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
- to just exit because the socket wasn't in the right state to send
- the message).
-
- - Most errors that occur during a daemon transfer are now returned to
- the user in addition to being logged (some messages are intended to
- be daemon-only).
-
- - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
- batch-processing options.
-
- - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
- implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
- that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
- implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
- suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
- help).
-
- - When the remote rsync dies, make a better effort to recover any error
- messages it may have sent before dying (the local rsync used to just
- die with a socket-write error).
-
- - When using --delete and a --backup-dir that contains files that are
- hard-linked to their destination equivalents, rsync now makes sure
- that removed files really get removed (works around a really weird
- rename() behavior).
-
- - Avoid a bogus run-time complaint about a lack of 64-bit integers when
- the int64 type is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
-
- - Added a configure check for open64() without mkstemp64() so that we
- can avoid using mkstemp() when such a combination is encountered.
- This bypasses a problem writing out large temp files on OSes such as
- AIX and HP-UX.
-
- - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
- (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
-
- - When --dry-run (-n) is used and the destination directory does not
- exist, rsync now produces a correct report of files that would be
- sent instead of dying with a chdir() error.
-
- - The "backed up ..." message that is output when at least 2 --verbose
- options are specified is now the same both with and without the
- --backup-dir option.
