- Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created

(protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for

protocol 31, but only output when --delete is in effect), and 3) to

BUG FIXES:
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed a bug in incremental recursion transfers where an I/O error might
|
||||
not get noticed in time for the receiving side to disable deletions
|
||||
(requires protocol 31).
|
||||
|
||||
- Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
|
||||
it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
|
||||
|
||||
- An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
|
||||
its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
|
||||
|
||||
- Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
|
||||
character to get translated incorrectly.

- When replacing a non-dir with a symlink/hard-link/device/special-file,

- The I/O code was rewritten to be simpler and do bigger buffered reads

changed to be standard multiplexed-I/O (like that over the socket).
