BUG FIXES:

the sender, and the file-list is large.

+ middle of a multiplexed packet of data that is waiting for the

FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
necessary.

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.

- When building under windows, the default for --daemon is now to
avoid detaching, requiring the new --detach option to force rsync
to detach.
- A 16-bit flag-word is transmitted after every file-list index. This
indicates what is changing between the sender and the receiver. The
generator now transmits an index and a flag-word to indicate when

+
+ - If a file is being hard-linked, the appropriate bit is enabled in
+ 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
+ is a single byte. If it is from 128-32767 bytes, the length is
+ 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
option. Also, the shell script created by --write-batch will use the
--filter option instead of --exclude-from to capture any filter rules.
+ - An index equal to the file-list count is sent as a keep-alive packet
+ from the generator to the sender, which then forwards it on to the
+ receiver. This normally invalid index is only a valid keep-alive
+ packet if the 16-bit flag-word that follows it contains a single bit
+ (ITEM_IS_NEW, which is normally an illegal flag to appear alone).

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