- - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
- unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
- "--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
+
+ - Added the "incoming chmod" and "outgoing chmod" daemon options that allow
+ a module to specify what permissions changes should be applied to all
+ files copied to and from the daemon.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and without
+ --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure that files
+ with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
+ - 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 the fifth file
+ to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of
+ a total of 9999.
+
+ - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3 trailing
+ stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the content below the
+ dir (dir/** would not match the dir).
