files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
+ - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
+ and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
+ option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
+ - A new incremental-recursion algorithm is now used when rsync is talking
+ to another 3.0.0 version. This starts the transfer going more quickly
+ (before all the files have been found), and requires much less memory.
+ See the --recursive option in the manpage for some restrictions.
+
+ - The default --delete algorithm is now --delete-during when talking to a
+ 3.x rsync. This is a faster scan than using --delete-before (which is
+ the default when talking to older rsync versions), and is compatible
+ with the new incremental recursion mode.
+
- Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
delete pass.
