(Tom Schmidt) + BUG FIXES: + + * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John + L. Allen, Martin Pool) - * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements.

(Albert Chin, Zoong Pham) - ENHANCEMENTS: + * Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool) + + INTERNAL: + + * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.
