- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
-
- * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
- Zimmerman)
-
- * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
- specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
- server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
- as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
-
- * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
- destination field.
-
- * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
- rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
- unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
- (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
- rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
-
- * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
- Middleton)
-
- * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
- and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
-
- * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
- terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
-
- * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
