- Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
batch-processing options.
+ - We try to work around some buggy IPv6 implementations that fail to
+ implement IPV6_V6ONLY. This should fix the "address in use" error
+ that some daemons get when running on an OS with a buggy IPv6
+ implementation. Also, if the new code gets this error, we might
+ suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 (if we think it will
+ help).

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
- onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+ onto another partition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
as matching a normal directory from the sender.
- Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
- Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
and documented all these options in the man page.
- - If the daemon get an address-in-use error starting up, we sometimes
- suggest that the user specify --ipv4 or --ipv6 to work around their
- buggy socket implementation.
-
- Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
values.
- If an rsync daemon is listening on multiple sockets (to handle both
IPv4 and IPv6 to a single port), we now close all the unneeded file
- handles after we accept a connecton (we used to close just one of
+ handles after we accept a connection (we used to close just one of
them).
