5 * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
9 * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
11 * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
13 * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch

22 * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
25 * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
27 * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
28 file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
