Wayne,

Thank you for the just released 3.1.0 version !
I will give it a try, testing its new features :-)
Btw, what about my question below ?

> I understand that it will avoid timeouts reached by the daemon while the client is working on its side (file list generation etc...).

Another example could be when the daemon is hard-linking  very huge amount of files (when the client uses --link-dest) and takes a very long time to do it.

Thank you very much !
