- * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
- than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
- what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
- to parse the output.
+ - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
+ use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
+
+ - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
+
+ - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
+ so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a
+ user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
+ could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
+
+ - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
+ to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
+ that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
