BUG FIXES:
+ - Fixed a really old bug that caused --checksum (-c) to checksum all the
+ files during the delete scan!
+
- Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
- If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
"--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
+
- 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.
+ - 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 transferred
+ file #5, and we still need to check 8383 files out of 9999 total.
+
- Some minor documentation improvements.
- Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
