exactly MAXPATHLEN was not handled correctly, and one handling a
--backup-dir that is extra extra large.
- Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
- Fixed a data-corruption issue when preserving hard-links without
preserving file ownership, and doing deletions either before or during
the transfer. This fixes some assert errors in the hard-linking code,
and some potential failed checksums (via -c) that should have matched.
- Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
- Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
and the transfer is using ACLs or xattrs.
- Fixed a hang if a really large file is being processed by an rsync that
can't handle 64-bit numbers. Rsync will now complain about the file
being too big and skip it.
- For devices and special files, we now avoid gathering useless ACL and/or
xattr information for files that aren't being copied. (The uncopied
files are still put into the file list, but there's no need to gather
data that is not going to be used.) This ensures that if the user uses
--no-D, that rsync can't possibly complain about being unable to gather
extended information from special files that are in the file list (but
not in the transfer).
- Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash. This
avoids a potential error where a filename could be interpreted as a
(usually invalid) option.
- Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
--skip-compress.

trying to access the not-yet-existing new destination directory.
- Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
file.
- Avoid trying to read/write xattrs on certain file types for certain OSes.
Improved configure to set NO_SYMLINK_XATTRS, NO_DEVICE_XATTRS, and/or
NO_SPECIAL_XATTRS defines in config.h.
- Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
- Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable.

- Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't
user writable.
- If a temp-file name is too long, rsync now avoids truncating the name in
the middle of adjacent high-bit characters. This prevents a potential
filename error if the filesystem doesn't allow a name to contain an
invalid multi-byte sequence.
- If a muli-protocol socket connection fails (i.e., when contacting a
daemon), we now report all the failures, not just the last one. This
avoids losing a relevant error (e.g. an IPv4 connection-refused error)
that happened before the final error (e.g. an IPv6 protocol-not-supported
error).
- Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will
reject an attempt to supply and arg.
reject an attempt to supply one.
- A couple minor option tweaks to support/rrsync script, and also some
regex changes that make vim highlighting happier.
- Fixed some issues in the support/mnt-excl script.
- A few manpage improvements.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added ".hg/" to the default cvs excludes (see -C & --cvs-exclude).
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- Use lchmod() whenever it is available (not just on symlinks).
