- Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
multiple source directories were specified.
+ - Fixed the 32-bit truncation of the file length when generating the
+ checksums.
+
- The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
batch-processing options.
+ - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
+ implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
+ that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
+ implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
+ suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
+ help).

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
- onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+ onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
as matching a normal directory from the sender.
- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
and documented all these options in the man page.
- - If the daemon get an address-in-use error starting up, we sometimes
- suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 to work around their
- buggy socket implementation.
-
- Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
values.
- Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
+ - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
+ fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
+ sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
+ systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
+ to maintain for the future). The new code generates just one data
+ file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch via
+ stdin. Also, the old requirement of using the same fixed checksum-
+ seed for all batch processing has been removed. (Chris Shoemaker)

INTERNAL:
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
and made the code easier to maintain.
+ - Improved the argv-overflow checking for a remote command that has
+ a lot of args.
+
- Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
- If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
- handles after we accept a connecton (we used to close just one of
+ handles after we accept a connection (we used to close just one of
them).
+ - Optimized away a loop in hash_search().
+
BUILD CHANGES:
- Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
- If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
- proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be
+ proto.h file is left untouched (its time-stamp used to always be
updated).
- The variable $STRIP (that is optionally set by the install-strip
target's rule) was changed to $INSTALL_STRIP because some systems
have $STRIP set in the environment.
+ - Fixed a build problem when SUPPORT_HARD_LINKS isn't defined.
+
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
