- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
+ when the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -u was
+ specified, and when the group of the source can't be used on
+ the destination and -g was specified. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might
+ cause the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to
+ get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
+ --partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
+ shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
+ the wire.
+
+ * Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
+ machines. (Jay Fenlason)
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ * Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
+ large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
+ some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
+ sets. (Wayne Davison)
