+ - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
+ of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
+ actual updating of the destination. This allows you to divert all
+ the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
+ are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
+
+ - When the generator is taking a long time to fill up its output buffer
+ (e.g. if the transferred files are few, small, or missing), it now
+ periodically flushes the output buffer so that the sender/receiver
+ can get started on the files sooner rather than later.
+
+ - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
+ some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
+ password mismatch, etc.). (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
+
+ - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
+ it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
+ really did expect the socket to close).
+
+ - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
+ back to using syslog (and log an appropriate warning). This is
+ better than what was typically a totally silent failure (since a
+ daemon is not usually run with the --no-detach option that was
+ necessary to see the error on stderr).
+
+ - The man pages now consistently refer to an rsync daemon as a "daemon"
+ to distinguish it from a server in a non-daemon transfer.
+
+ - Made a small change to the rrsync script (restricted rsync -- in the
+ support dir) to make a read-only server reject all --remove-* options
+ when sending files (to future-proof it against the possibility of
+ other similar options being added at some point).
