- Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
+ - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
+ its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
+
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
control over what is output. Added an extra type of --progress output
using --info=progress2.
+ - Added the --delete-missing-args and --ignore-missing-args options to
+ either delete or ignore user-specified files on the receiver that are
+ missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-specified files
+ generates an error).
+
- Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
- Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created

+
+ - When backing up a file, try to hard-link the file into place so that the
+ upcoming replacement of the destination file will be atomic.

EXTRAS:
- Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
DEVELOPER RELATED:
+ - The filter code received some refactoring to make it more extendable, to
+ read better, and do better sanity checking.
+
- Added more conditional debug output.
- Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
