-
- ENHANCEMENTS:
-
- * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
- otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
-
- * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
- accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
- (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
-
- * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of
- a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb,
- similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy.
