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. - - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir). + - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except + that it includes copies of identical files. + + - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or + --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the + patches dir and enhanced.) + + - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.) - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options - so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a - user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that - could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects. + so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible to + start a daemon that had improper default option values that could + cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects. - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option. + - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from + the patches dir.) + - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the partial file.
