+ - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
+ fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
+ sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
+ systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
+ to maintain for the future). The new code generates just one data
+ file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch via
+ stdin. Also, the old requirement of using the same fixed checksum-
+ seed for all batch processing has been removed.

+ - If an rsync daemon has a module set with "list = no" (which hides its
+ presence in the list of available modules), a user that fails to
+ authenticate gets the same "unknown module" error that they would get
+ if the module were actually unknown (while still logging the real
+ error to the daemon's log file). This prevents fishing for modules
+ names.
