+NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.8:
BUG FIXES:
- - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
- was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
- file).
-
- - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
- that already exists in the --backup-dir.
-
- - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
- setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
- mkstemp(). (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
-
- - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
- the sender, and the file-list is large.
-
- - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
- FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
- necessary.
-
- - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
-
- - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.

ENHANCEMENTS:
- - 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.
