+    - If a file gets resent in a single transfer and the --backup option
+      is enabled, rsync no longer performs a duplicate backup (losing the
+      original file in the process).

     - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
       (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).

       the modify time on directories.  This avoids confusing NFS.

+    - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error

+
+    - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
