### BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed a bug with `--inplace` + `--sparse` where the destination file could
- get reconstructed with bogus data. This bug can be worked-around in older
- rsync versions by also specifying `--no-W -M--no-W`. When running 3.2.4 or
- newer for your copy, rsync now sends `--no-W` to the remote rsync in such a
- scenario (just in case the remote rsync is a version with this bug).
+ - Fixed a bug with `--inplace` + `--sparse` (and a lack of `--whole-file`)
+ where the destination file could get reconstructed with bogus data. Since
+ the bug can also be avoided by using (the seemingly redundant) `--no-W` on
+ the receiving side, the latest rsync will now send `--no-W` to a remote
+ receiver when this option combination occurs. If your client rsync is not
+ new enough to do this for you (or if you're just paranoid), you can manually
+ specify `--no-W -M--no-W` (when not using `--whole-file`) to make sure the
+ bug is avoided.
- Fixed a bug with `--mkpath` if a single-file copy specifies an existing
destination dir with a non-existing destination filename.
or it is skipped. Fixes a crash that could occur when the size changes to 0
in the middle of the send negotiations.
- - When dealing with a special file in an alt-dest hierarchy, rsync now checks
- the non-permissions mode bits to ensure that the 2 special files are really
- the same.

file to fail to update.

+ option that contains a `V` in the command.
- Fixed a long-standing compression bug where the compression level of the
first file transferred affected the level for all future files. Also, the

suffix.

non-regular files in the transfer. This is enabled by default (keeping the
