   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Made hard-linked symlinks and devices work again.
+    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.

+    - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
+      permissions without recreating the file.
 
     - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
       we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination

       permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
       the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
 
+    - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
+      algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+
+    - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
+      fails.
+
+    - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
+
+    - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
+      configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
+      the newly patched feature.

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
     - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files

       per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode

+    - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+      the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+      should start.  For example, if you specify a source path of
+      rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
+      replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+      dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+
+    - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
+      unwanted implied or default options.  For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
+      "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
+      file ownership that is implied by -a.
+
+    - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
+      which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+
+    - Some minor documentation improvements.

+    - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
