     - 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 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.
