- Added the --copy-dirlinks option, a more limited version of --copy-links.
- - The sender's hash table for checksum information was improved to make it
- more efficient when updating really large files (starting from around
- 2.5GB, but most visibly for much larger files). This prevents the hash
- table from getting overloaded, which saves CPU time (and real time) at
- the expense of a little extra memory (and it actually saves memory for
- normal sized files).
-
- Various documentation improvements, including: a better synopsis, some
improved examples, a better discussion of the presence and absence of
--perms (including how it interacts with the new --executability and
- Unified the f_name() and the f_name_to() functions.
+ - Improved the hash-table code the sender uses to handle checksums to make
+ it use slightly less memory and run just a little faster.
