NEWS for rsync 3.1.1 (UNRELEASED)
Protocol: 31 (unchanged)
Changes since 3.1.0:

  BUG FIXES:

    - Fixed a failure to remove the partial-transfer temp file when interrupted
      (and rsync is not saving the partial files).

    - Changed the chown/group/xattr-set order to avoid losing some security-
      related xattr info (that would get cleared by a chown).

    - Fixed a bug in the early daemon protocol where a timeout failed to be
      honored (e.g. if the remote side fails to send us the initial protocol
      greeting).

    - Fixed unintended inclusion of commas in file numbers in the daemon log.

    - We once again send the 'f' sub-flag (of -e) to the server side so it
      knows that we can handle incremental-recursion directory errors properly
      in older protocols.

    - Fixed an issue with too-aggressive keep-alive messages causing a problem
      for older rsync versions early in the transfer.

    - Fixed an incorrect message about backup-directory-creation when using
      --dry-run and the backup dir is not an absolute path.

    - Fixed a bug where a failed deletion might not affect the exit code.

    - Fixed a bug that caused a failure when combining --delete-missing-args
      with --xattrs and/or --acls.

    - Fixed an itemize bug that affected the combo of --link-dest, -X, and -n.

    - Fixed a problem with delete messages not appearing in the log file when
      the user didn't use --verbose.

    - Improve chunked xattr reading for OS X.

    - Removed an attempted hard-link xattr optimization that was causing a
      transfer failure.  (If you need to interact with an rsync 3.1.0 using
      --hard-links & --xattrs, you can specify --protocol=30.)

    - We now generate a better error if the buffer overflows in do_mknod().

    - Fixed a problem reading more than 16 ACLs on some OSes.

    - Switched Cygwin back to using socketpair "pipes" to try to speed it up.

    - Added knowledge of a few new options to rrsync.

  ENHANCEMENTS:

    - Added the support/rsync-no-vanished wrapper script.

    - Made configure more prominently mention when we failed to find yodl (in
      case the user wants to be able to generate manpages from *.yo files).
