- - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
- option. Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
- matching items.
-
- - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by a
- signal. This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not being
- able to get the exit status from the script.
-
- - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
- filter rules.
-
- - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option: it
- would output superfluous directory information for a non-daemon rsync.
-
- - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
- files (which includes local copies). Version 2.6.9 would complete the
- copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
-
- - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
- and exits. This should help users figure out that they can't use this
- option to control a remote shell's password prompt.
-
- - Make sure that directory permissions of a newly-created destination
- directory are handled right when --perms is left off.
+ - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
+ its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
