BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a bug that would sometimes surface when using --compress and
sending a file with a block-size larger than 64K (either manually
specified, or computed due to the file being really large). Prior
- versions of rsync would sometimes fail to to decompress the data
+ versions of rsync would sometimes fail to decompress the data
properly, and thus the transferred file would fail its verification.
- If a daemon can't open the specified log file (i.e. syslog is not
is creating (e.g. dirs, symlinks) is now integrated into the progress
output without overlapping it. (Requires protocol 29.)
+ - When --timeout is specified, lulls in the transfer while the
+ generator scanning the file system (either looking for files to send
+ or files to delete) now generate a new keep-alive packet that will
+ keep the transfer going (as long as the generator continues to make
+ progress). (Requires protocol 29.)
+
+ - The stat size of a device is not added to the total file size of the
+ items we encounter since it might be undefined on some OSes.

ENHANCEMENTS:
- 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 --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files
- from on the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the

- If --inplace is specified, the generator flags any transfer that is

--filter option instead of --exclude-from to capture any filter rules.

BUILD CHANGES:
- Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
