the sender, and the file-list is large.

- We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating

necessary.

- One call to flush_write_file() was not being checked for an error.
- The --no-relative option was not being sent from the client to a
output without overlapping it. (Requires protocol 29.)

- The stat size of a device is not added to the total file size of the

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
- Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest or --link-dest
options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the patches dir

name-matching algorithm. This option requires protocol 29 because
it needs the new file-sorting order. (Promoted from patches dir

- Added the --remove-sent-files option, which lets you move files
between systems.
+ - The hostname in HOST:PATH or HOST::PATH may now be an IPv6 literal

- When building under windows, the default for --daemon is now to
avoid detaching, requiring the new --detach option to force rsync
to detach.
less prone to screen corruption (because either the receiver or the
sender is now outputting all the file-change info).
- - If --inplace is specified, the generator flags any transfer that is

- file in the rsync algorithm (unlike a normal --inplace update).

+ the flag-word and the name of the file that was linked immediately
+ follows in vstring format (see below).

+ - If a file is being transferred with an alternate-basis file, the
+ appropriate bit is enabled in the flag-word and a single-byte

+ length string that has its size written prior to the string, and
+ no terminating null. If the string is from 1-127 bytes, the length

+ written as ((len >> 8) | 0x80) followed by (len % 0x100).
- The sending of exclude names is done using filter-rule syntax. This
means that all names have a prefixed rule indicator, even excludes
--filter option instead of --exclude-from to capture any filter rules.
