- (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
- Hagino)

ENHANCEMENTS:
- * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
- multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
- Faith)
-
- * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
- useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
- debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
+ * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
+ connection.
+
+ * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
+ support mallinfo().
+
+ * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
+ visible and people will think it's faster. (With --progress,
+ rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
+ file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
- * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+ * Improvements to batch mode support. This is still experimental
+ but testing would be welcome. (Jos Backus)
+
+ * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
+ Vipul's Razor. (Debian #124286)
