+ - The --link-dest option now affects symlinks and devices (when
+ possible).
+
+ - Improved the output of hard-linked and copied files when using
+ --link-dest, --copy-dest, or --compare-dest.
+
+ - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
+ and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
+ per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+ transfer. (See the manpage for a list of the environment variables
+ that are set with information about the transfer.)
+
+ - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+ the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+ should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
+ rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync will now only
+ replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+ dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+
+ - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
+ unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
+ "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
+ file ownership that is implied by -a.
+
+ - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions
+ to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx
+
+ - Added the "incoming chmod" daemon option to allow a module to specify
+ what permissions changes should be applied to all files copied to the
+ daemon.
+
+ - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
+ which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+
+ - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
+ now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
+
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
+ - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
+ better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
+ "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was the fifth file
+ to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of
+ a total of 9999.
