     - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
 
-    - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device

+    - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the

       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.
+
+    - If the generator gets a stat() error on a file, output it (this used to
+      require at least -vv for the error to be seen).

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
     - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
       that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
       files).
 
+    - Added the --min-size=SIZE option to exclude small files from the
+      transfer.
+
+    - Added the --compress-level option to allow you to set how aggressive
+      rsync's compression should be (the option implies --compress).
+
+    - Enhanced the parsing of the SIZE value for --min-size and --max-size.
+
     - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
       preservation of attributes on symlinks.

+    - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
+      unwanted implied or default options.  For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
