     - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
 
-    - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device

+    - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the

       we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination

     - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
