BUILD CHANGES:
- - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
- rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
+ - Added configure option "--disable-locale" to disable any use of
+ setlocale() in the binary.
- - Only define HAVE_REMSH if it is going to be set to 1.
+ - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS #defines which prevented
+ rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
- - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+ - Only #define HAVE_REMSH if it is going to be set to 1.
- Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
- - Configure no longer mentions the switch from rsh to ssh (for the
- default remote shell) that occurred in 2.6.0.
+ - Configure no longer mentions the change in the default remote-shell

- - Added a few new diffs to the patches dir, including a patch that
- enables the optional copying of extended attributes.
