       --dry-run and --delete, rsync no longer complains about not being able
       to opendir() the not-yet present directory.
 

+    - When --list-only is used and a non-existent local destination dir was
+      also specified as a destination, rsync no longer generates a warning
+      about being unable to create the missing directory.
+
+    - Fixed some problems with --relative --no-implied-dirs when the
+      destination directory did not yet exist:  we can now create a symlink or
+      device when it is the first thing in the missing dir, and --fuzzy no
+      longer complains about being unable to open the missing dir.
+
+    - Fixed a bug where the --copy-links option would not affect implied
+      directories (see --relative) without --copy-unsafe-links.
+

     - Got rid of the need for --force to be used in some circumstances with
       --delete-after (making it consistent with --delete-before/-during).

+    - A daemon now supersedes its minimal SIGCHLD handler with the standard
+      PID-remembering version after forking to handle the request.  This
+      ensures that the generator can get the child-exit status from the
+      receiver.
+
+    - Use of the --bwlimit option no longer interferes with the remote rsync
+      sending error messages about invalid/refused options.
+
+    - Rsync no longer returns a usage error when used with one local source arg
+      and no destination: this now implies the --list-only option, just like
+      the comparable situation with a remote source arg.
+
+    - Added the --copy-dirlinks option, a more limited version of --copy-links.
+
+    - The sender's hash table for checksum information was improved to make it
+      more efficient when updating really large files (starting from around
+      2.5GB, but most visibly for much larger files).  This prevents the hash
+      table from getting overloaded, which saves CPU time (and real time) at
+      the expense of a little extra memory (and it actually saves memory for
+      normal sized files).
