- The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
- - Fixed a bug in the reading of the password file (by the daemon)
- and the secrets file (by the client): the files no longer need to
- be terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.

- If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
- Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
(rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
+ - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
+ items are now excluded from being uploaded (if the module is not
+ read-only) as well as downloaded.
+
+ - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
+ the modify time on directories. This avoids confusing NFS.
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
+ batch-processing options.
