- - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
- use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
-
- - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
- that it includes copies of identical files.
-
- - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
- --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
- patches dir and enhanced.)
-
- - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
-
- - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
- so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to
- start a daemon that had improper default option values that could
- cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects.
-
- - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
- to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
- that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
-
- - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
- the patches dir.)
-
- - 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.
