        !             5:   SECURITY FIXES:
        !             6: 
        !             7:     - Make sure that all transferred files use only path names from inside the
        !             8:       transfer.  This makes it impossible for a malicious sender to try to make
        !             9:       the receiver use an unsafe destination path for a transferred file, such
        !            10:       as a just-sent symlink.

                     12:   BUG FIXES:
                     13: 
1.1.1.3 ! misho      14:     - Change the checksum seed order in the per-block checksums.  This prevents
        !            15:       someone from trying to create checksum blocks that match in sum but not
        !            16:       content.
        !            17:     - Fixed a with the per-dir filter files (using -FF) that could trigger an
        !            18:       assert failure.
        !            19:     - Only skip set_modtime() on a transferred file if the time is exactly
        !            20:       right.
        !            21:     - Don't create an empty backup dir for a transferred file that doesn't
        !            22:       exist yet.
        !            23:     - Fixed a bug where --link-dest and --xattrs could cause rsync to exit if
        !            24:       a filename had a matching dir of the same name in the alt-dest area.
        !            25:     - Allow more than 32 group IDs per user in the daemon's gid=LIST config.
        !            26:     - Fix the logging of %b & %c via --log-file (daemon logging was already
        !            27:       correct, as was --out-format='%b/%c').
        !            28:     - Fix erroneous acceptance of --info=5 & --debug=5 (an empty flag name is
        !            29:       not valid).
