+NEWS for rsync 3.0.5 (28 Dec 2008)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Initialize xattr data in a couple spots in the hlink code, which avoids a
+ crash when the xattr pointer's memory happens to start out non-zero.
+ Also fixed the itemizing of an alt-dest file's xattrs when hard-linking.
+
+ - Don't send a bogus "-" option to an older server if there were no short
+ options specified.
+
+ - Fixed skipping of unneeded updates in a batch file when incremental
+ recursion is active. Added a test for this. Made batch-mode handle
+ "redo" files properly (and without hanging).
+
+ - Fix the %P logfile escape when the daemon logs from inside a chroot.
+
+ - Fixed the use of -s (--protect-args) when used with a remote source or
+ destination that had an empty path (e.g. "host:"). Also fixed a problem
+ when -s was used when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
+
+ - Fixed the use of a dot-dir path (e.g. foo/./bar) inside a --files-from
+ file when the root of the transfer isn't the current directory.
+
+ - Fixed a bug with "-K --delete" removing symlinks to directories when
+ incremental recursion is active.
+
+ - Fixed a hard to trigger hang when using --remove-source-files.
+
+ - Got rid of an annoying delay when accessing a daemon via a remote-shell.
+
+ - Properly ignore (superfluous) source args on a --read-batch command.
+
+ - Improved the manpage's description of the '*' wildcard to remove the
+ confusing "non-empty" qualifier.
+
+ - Fixed reverse lookups in the compatibility-library version of
+ getnameinfo().
+
+ - Fixed a bug when using --sparse on a sparse file that has over 2GB of
+ consecutive sparse data.
+
+ - Avoid a hang when using at least 3 --verbose options on a transfer with a
+ client sender (which includes local copying).
+
+ - Fixed a problem with --delete-delay reporting an error when it was ready
+ to remove a directory that was now gone.
+
+ - Got rid of a bunch of "warn_unused_result" compiler warnings.
+
+ - If an ftruncate() on a received file fails, it now causes a partial-
+ transfer warning.
+
+ - Allow a path with a leading "//" to be preserved (CYGWIN only).
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - Made the support/atomic-rsync script able to perform a fully atomic
+ update of the copied hierarchy when the destination is setup using a
+ particular symlink idiom.
