+ transfer. (See the manpage for a list of the environment variables
+ that are set with information about the transfer.)
+
+ - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+ the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+ should start. For example, if you specify a source path of
+ rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync will now only
+ replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+ dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+
+ - 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
+
+ - Added the "incoming chmod" daemon option to allow a module to specify
+ what permissions changes should be applied to all files copied to the
+ daemon.
+
+ - 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.
+
+ - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+ without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure
+ that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
+ - 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 the fifth file
+ to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of
+ a total of 9999.
+
+ - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3
+ trailing stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the
+ content below the dir (dir/** would not match the dir).
+
+ - Added the --prune-empty-dirs (-m) option that makes the receiving
+ rsync discard empty chains of directories from the file-list. This
+ makes it easier to selectively copy files from a source hierarchy and
+ end up with just the directories needed to hold the resulting files.
+
+ - If the --itemize-changes (-i) option is repeated, rsync now includes
+ unchanged files in the itemized output (similar to -vv, but without
+ all the other verbose messages that can get in the way). Of course,
+ the client must be version 2.6.7 for this to work, but the remote
+ rsync only needs to be 2.6.7 if you're pushing files.
+
+ - Added the --super option to make the receiver always attempt super-
+ user activities. This is useful for systems that allow things such
+ as devices to be created or ownership to be set without being UID 0,
+ and is also useful for someone who wants to ensure that errors will
+ be output if the receiving rsync isn't being run as root.
+
+ - Added the --sockopts option for those few who want to customize the
+ TCP options used to contact a daemon rsync.
+
+ - Added a way for the --temp-dir option to be combined with a partial-dir
+ setting that lets rsync avoid non-atomic updates (for those times when
+ --temp-dir is not being used because space is tight).
+
+ - Some minor documentation improvements.
+
+ - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+ MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+
+ - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+ with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+
+ - If a va_copy macro is defined, lib/snprintf.c will use it when defining
+ the VA_COPY macro.
+
+ - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory
+ recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes.
+
+ - The wildmatch function was extended to allow an array of strings to
+ be supplied as the string to match. This allows the exclude code to
+ do less string copying.
+
+ - Got rid of the safe_fname() function (and all the myriad calls) and
+ replaced it with a new function in the log.c code that filters all
+ the output going to the terminal.
+
+ - Unified the f_name() and the f_name_to() functions.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
+ configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
+ the newly patched feature.
+
+ - The testsuite now sets HOME so that it won't be affecting by a file
+ such as ~/.popt.
