+    * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync.  If you want to
+      change this, configure like this:  "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".

     * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
       Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
       files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
