rsync 2.5.

rsync 2.5.
1 (sometime in 2001?)
ANNOUNCEMENTS
BUG FIXES:
* rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai <kraai@debian.org>
* Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
NEW FEATURES
* Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
* Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
* Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
sets. By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
Backus. <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
* IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX. Also
includes IPv6 compatibility functions for old OSs by the
Internet Software Consortium, Paul Vixie, the OpenSSH
portability project, and OpenBSD.
ENHANCEMENTS
* Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
included or excluded and why.
* Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
details.
* Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
* When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
open when going to sleep on the socket. This allows the log
file to get cleaned out by another process.
* Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
options. This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
consistent across platforms. popt is included and built if not
installed on the platform.
* More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
* MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
* Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure. If we use mktemp,
explain that we do it in a secure way.
* --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
local machine.
BUG FIXES:
* Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
* Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
* Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
* Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
to transfer fail to transfer
* For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
ellipsis at the end of the string. (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
PLATFORMS:
* Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
* autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
scripts. It is not required to simply build rsync.
* Platforms thought to work in this release:
