   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a bug in incremental recursion transfers where an I/O error might
-      not get noticed in time for the receiving side to disable deletions
-      (requires protocol 31).
-
     - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
       it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
-    - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
-      its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
-
     - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
       character to get translated incorrectly.
 
+    - Improved the propagation of abnormal-exit error messages.  This should
+      help the client side to receive errors from the server when it is exiting
+      abnormally, and should also avoid dying with an "connection unexpectedly
+      closed" exit when the closed connection is really expected.
