BUG FIXES:
+ - If the receiver gets bogus filenames from the sender (an unexpected
+ leading slash or a ".." infix dir), exit with an error. This prevents a
+ malicious sender from trying to inject filenames that would affect an
+ area outside the destination directories.
+
- 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 xattr-finding code that could make a non-root-run
+ receiver not able to find some xattr numbers.
+
- 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 a bug that caused a failure when combining --delete-missing-args
with --xattrs and/or --acls.
+ - Fixed a strange dir_depth assertion error that was caused by empty-dir
+ removals and/or duplicate files in the transfer.

- Fixed a problem with --info=progress2's output stats where rsync would
only update the stats at the end of each file's transfer. It now uses
the data that is flowing for the current file, making the stats more

ENHANCEMENTS:
- Tweaked the temp-file naming when --temp-dir=DIR is used: the temp-file
- names with not get an extra leading '.' prepended.
+ names will not get a '.' prepended.
+
+ - Added support for a new-compression idiom that does not compress all the
+ matching data in a transfer. This can help rsync to use less cpu when a
+ transfer has a lot of matching data, and also makes rsync compatible with
+ a non-bundled zlib. See the --new-compress and --old-compress options in
+ the manpage.
- 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).
+ - Have manpage mention how a daemon's max-verbosity setting affects info
+ and debug options. Also added more clarification on backslash removals
+ for excludes that contain wildcards.
+
+ - Have configure check if for the attr lib (for getxattr) for those systems
+ that need to link against it explicitly.
+
+ - Change the early dir-creation logic to only use that idiom in an
+ inc-recursive copy that is preserving directory times. e.g. using
+ --omit-dir-times will avoid these early directories being created.
+
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- We now include an example systemd file (in packaging/systemd).
