Some superficial tweaks I made while reading through the io.c code.

       Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the

-    -   for protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
-       block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
-       Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
-       (Craig Barratt)
-  
-    -   for protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
-       mdfour.c as required by the RFC.  Previously only a 32 bit bit
-       counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
-       file sizes >= 512MB - 4.  (Craig Barratt)
+    * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
+      properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
+      user's file args are in the source tree.  (Wayne Davison)

+    * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+
+    * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
+
+    * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
+      consistent manner.
+
+    * Fixed some exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+      For instance, "**/foo" now matches at the root, "CVS/R*" now
+      matches beyond the root, and "foo**bar" is matched against the
+      path, not just the trailing name.  (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed file I/O error detection.  (John Van Essen)
+
+    * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
+      that contains already-compressed data.  (Yasuoka Masahiko and
