15 July 2003
1.1.2 release
Bugfix release.
A bug was discovered in dirvish error reporting.
An error in file handle management resulted in stderr becoming
disconnected so that cron jobs would not report some error
conditions.
This did not affect error detection and handling in any way.
The rsync_error files and the "Status:" field in summary
files were still reliable.
An upgrade is recommended.
