- - When -x (--one-file-system) is combined with -L (--copy-links) or
- --copy-unsafe-links, no symlinked files are skipped, even if the
- referent file is on a different filesystem.
-
- - The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user when
- (1) the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -o was
- specified, or (2) when the group of the source can't be used on
- the destination and -g was specified.
-
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might cause
- the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to get
- overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
-
- - We now reset the "new data has been sent" flag at the start of
- each file we send. This makes sure that an interrupted transfer
- with the --partial option set doesn't keep a shorter temp file
- than the current basis file when no new data has been transfered
- over the wire for that file.
-
- - Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian machines.

-
- - Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
-
- - Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
-
- - When using --cvs-exclude, the exclude items we get from a
- per-directory's .cvsignore file once again only affect that one
- directory (not all following directories too). The items are also
- now properly word-split and parsed without any +/- prefix parsing.
-
- - When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER part
- can now contain an '@', if needed (i.e. the last '@' is used to
- find the HOST, not the first).
-
- - Fixed some bugs in the handling of group IDs for non-root users:
- (1) It properly handles a group that the sender didn't have a name
- for (it would previously skip changing the group on any files in
- that group). (2) If --numeric-ids is used, rsync no longer
- attempts to set groups that the user doesn't have the permission
- to set.
-
- - Fixed the "refuse options" setting in the rsyncd.conf file.
-
- - Improved the -x (--one-file-system) flag's handling of any mount-
- point directories we encounter. It is both more optimal (in that
- it no longer does a useless scan of the contents of the mount-
- point dirs) and also fixes a bug where a remapped mount of the
- original filesystem could get discovered in a subdir we should be
- ignoring.
-
- - Rsync no longer discards a double-slash at the start of a filename
- when trying to open the file. It also no longer constructs names
- that start with a double slash (unless the user supplied them).
-
- - Path-specifying options to a daemon should now work the same with
- or without chroot turned on. Previously, such a option (such as
- --link-dest) would get its absolute path munged into a relative
- one if chroot was not on, making that setting fairly useless.
- Rsync now transforms the path into one that is based on the
- module's base dir when chroot is not enabled.
-
- - Fixed compilation problem on Tru64 Unix (having to do with
- sockaddr.sa_len and sockaddr.sin_len).
-
- - Fixed a compatibility problem interacting with older rsync
- versions that might send us an empty --suffix value without
- telling us that --backup-dir was specified.
-
- - The "hosts allow" option for a daemon-over-remote-shell process
- now has improved support for IPv6 addresses and a fix for systems
- that have a length field in their socket structs.
-
- - Fixed the ability to request an empty backup --suffix when sending
- files to an rsync daemon.
+ - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in
+ the daemon's config file.
+
+ - Added the --remove-source-files option as a replacement for the (now
+ deprecated) --remove-sent-files option. This new option removes all
+ non-dirs from the source directories, even if the file was already
+ up-to-date. This fixes a problem where interrupting an rsync that
+ was using --remove-sent-files and restarting it could leave behind
+ a file that the earlier rsync synchronized, but didn't get to remove.
+ (The deprecated --remove-sent-files is still understood for now, and
+ still behaves in the same way as before.)
+
+ - Added the option --no-motd to suppress the message-of-the-day output
+ from a daemon when doing a copy. (See the manpage for a caveat.)
+
+ - Added a new environment variable to the pre-/post-xfer exec commands (in
+ the daemon's config file): RSYNC_PID. This value will be the same in
+ both the pre- and post-xfer commands, so it can be used if the pre-xfer
+ command wants to cache some arg/request info for the post-xfer command.
