(temporarily) put a partially transferred file (instead of over-
writing the destination file). E.g. --partial-dir=.rsync-partial
+ Also added support for the RSYNC_PARTIAL_DIR environment variable
+ that, when found, transforms a regular --partial option (such as
+ the convenient -P option) into one that also specifies a directory.
- Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
finished file would have a very brief window where its permissions
disallowed all group and world access.
+ - Support for literal IPv6 addresses was added to the URL parser for the
+ "rsync:" scheme (e.g. rsync://[2001:638:500:101::21]:873/module/dir).
+
+ - Added the ability to parse a literal IPv6 address in an "rsync:" URL
+ (e.g. rsync://[2001:638:500:101::21]:873/module/dir).
