ENHANCEMENTS:
+ * Lower memory use and more optimal transfer of data over
+ the socket (see the INTERNAL section for details).
+
* The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
"USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.

specified, and when the group of the source can't be used on
the destination and -g was specified. (Wayne Davison)
- * Fixed the caching of the full PATH/NAME strings to avoid the
- current name getting lost if too many other names were
- expanded during the processing (such as when -H was
- specified). (Wayne Davison)
+ * Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might
+ cause the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to
+ get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
+ (Wayne Davison)
* Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
--partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
- the wire.

+
+ * Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
+ machines. (Jay Fenlason)
+
+ * Fixed configure bug when running "./configure --disable-ipv6".
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed "make test" bug when build dir is not the source dir.
INTERNAL:
* Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty

+ large speedup when running under MS Windows. (Craig Barratt)
* Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
- some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
+ some significant reductions in user-CPU time for large file
sets. (Wayne Davison)
* Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.
(Wayne Davison)
+ * Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
+ (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Implemented a new algorithm for hard-link handling that speeds
+ up the code significantly. (J.W. Schultz and Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Got rid of support for protocol versions 17 and 18 (which are
+ both over 6 years old). (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * More optimal data transmission for --hard-links (protocol 28).
+
+ * More optimal data transmission for --checksum (protocol 28).
+
+ * Less memory used for holding --checksum data.
+
+ * Less memory used per-file in the file list.
