    * Less memory used per-file in the file list.

+    * The 2 pipes used between the receiver and generator processes
+      (which are forked on the same machine) were reduced to 1 pipe and
+      the protocol improved so that (1) it is now impossible to have the
+      "redo" pipe fill up and hang rsync, and (2) trailing messages from
+      the receiver don't get lost on their way to through generator over
+      to the sender.  (Wayne Davison)
