- - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
- unwanted implied or default options. For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
- "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
- file ownership that is implied by -a.
-
- - Added the --chmod=MODE option that allows the destination permissions
- to be changed from the source permissions. E.g. --chmod=g+w,o-rwx
-
- - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
- which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
-
- - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
- now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
-
- - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
- better indicate what the numbers mean. For instance, the output:
- "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was transferred
- file #5, and we still need to check 8383 files out of 9999 total.
-
- - Some minor documentation improvements.
