- * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
- This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
- matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
- cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
- what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
-
- - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
- For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
- [If your string has BOTH "*" and "**" wildcards, changing the
- "*" wildcards to "**" will provide the old behavior in all
- versions.]
-
- - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (like /foo
- does). [Use "/**/foo" to get the old behavior in all versions.]
-
- - A non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
- the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
- just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does. [Use "/CVS/R*"
- to get the old behavior in all versions.]
-
- - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
- against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
- there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
- would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
- "/foo-path/baz-bar" (unlike before). [Use "foo*bar" to get the
- old behavior in all versions.]
-
- * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
- properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
- user's file-args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
+ * When -x (--one-file-system) is combined with -L (--copy-links)
+ or --copy-unsafe-links, no symlinked files are skipped, even
+ if the referent file is on a different filesystem.
+
+ * The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
+ when (1) the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -o
+ was specified, or (2) when the group of the source can't be
+ used on the destination and -g was specified.
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might
+ cause the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to
+ get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
+
+ * We now reset the "new data has been sent" flag at the start
+ of each file we send. This makes sure that an interrupted
+ transfer with the --partial option set doesn't keep a shorter
+ temp file than the current basis file when no new data has been
+ transfered over the wire for that file.
+
+ * Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
+ machines. (Jay Fenlason)
+
+ * Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
+
+ * Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
+
+ * When using --cvs-exclude, the exclude items we get from a
+ directory's .cvsignore file once again only affect that one
+ directory (and not all following directories too). The
+ items are also now properly word-split and parsed without
+ any +/- prefix munging.
+
+ * When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER
+ part can now contain an '@', if needed (i.e. the last '@'
+ is used to find the HOST, not the first).
+
+ * Fixed some bugs in the handling of group IDs for non-root
+ users: (1) It properly handles a group that the sender didn't
+ have a name for (it would previously skip changing the group
+ on any files in that group). (2) If --numeric-ids is used,
+ rsync no longer attempts to set groups that the user doesn't
+ have the permission to set.
+
+ * Fixed the "refuse options" setting in the rsyncd.conf file.
+
+ * Improved the -x (--one-file-system) flag's handling of any
+ mount-point directories we encounter. It is both more optimal
+ (in that it no longer does a useless scan of the contents of
+ the mount-point dirs) and also fixes a bug where a remapped
+ mount of the original filesystem could get discovered in a
+ subdir we should be ignoring.
+
+ * Rsync no longer discards a double-slash at the start of a filename
+ when trying to open the file. It also no longer constructs names
+ that start with a double slash (unless the user supplied them).
+
+ * Path-specifying options to a daemon should now work the same with
+ or without chroot turned on. Previously, such a option (such as
+ --link-dest) would get its absolute path munged into a relative
+ one if chroot was not on, making that setting fairly useless.
+ Rsync now transforms the path into one that is based on the
+ module's base dir when chroot is not enabled.
+
+ * Fixed compilation problem on Tru64 Unix (having to do with
+ sockaddr.sa_len and sockaddr.sin_len).
+
+ * Fixed a compatibility problem interacting with older rsync
+ versions that might send us an empty --suffix value without
+ telling us that --backup-dir was specified.
+
+ * The "hosts allow" option for a daemon-over-remote-shell
+ process now has improved support for IPv6 addresses and a fix
+ for systems that have a length field in their socket structs.
+
+ * Fixed the ability to request an empty backup --suffix when
+ sending files to an rsync daemon.
