       not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the

+      that might have caused an infininte loop or perhaps a crash.

     - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write

+    - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
+      to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest

+
+    - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
+      no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
     - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
       of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any

     - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
       characters rather than '?'s.  Any non-printable character is output
