     - If rsync is interrupted via a handled signal (such as SIGINT), it will
       once again clean-up its temp file from the destination dir.

-      symlink's value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink

-      dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are
-      manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top
-      of the module's path.  These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
-      same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
-      potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the
-      module's hierarchy.  See also the new "munge symlinks" daemon setting.

     - Fixed an overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --link-dest,
       --copy-dest, and --compare-dest options to a daemon without chroot: if
       the copy's destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path,
-      these options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references
+      these options now accept a safe number of parent-dir (../) references

       how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy.
