- - 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.
-
- - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
- --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options.
-
- - Added the --dirs option for an easier way to copy directories
- without recursion.
-
- - Added the --list-only option which is mainly a way for the client to
- put the server into listing mode without needing to resort to any
- option kluges (e.g. the age-old use of "-r --exclude="/*/*" for a
- non-recursive listing).
-
- - Added the --omit-dir-times option which will avoid updating the
- modified time for directories when --times was specified. For a
- really large transfer, this option will avoid an extra pass through
- the file-list at the end of the transfer to tweak all the directory
- times.
-
- - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
- files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
- once at the end of the transfer. Only works when pulling, and uses
- --link-dest.
-
- INTERNAL:
-
- - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over
- the socket.
