   BUG FIXES:
 
+    * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+      This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
+      matching more consistent and intuitive.  This should hopefully not
+      cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
+      what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
+
+      - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
+        For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
+
+      - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo).
+
+      - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
+        the transfer.  E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
+        just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does.
+
+      - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
+        against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
+        there aren't any interior slashes in the term.  E.g. "foo**bar"
+        would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
+        "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance).
+
     * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
       properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
       user's file args are in the source tree.  (Wayne Davison)

     * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
       consistent manner.
 
-    * Fixed some exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
-      For instance, "**/foo" now matches at the root, "CVS/R*" now
-      matches beyond the root, and "foo**bar" is matched against the
-      path, not just the trailing name.  (Wayne Davison)

     * Fixed file I/O error detection.  (John Van Essen)
 
     * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
       that contains already-compressed data.  (Yasuoka Masahiko and
       Wayne Davison)
 
+    * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+      to not get backed up.
+
+    * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
+
+    * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+      what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
+      using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
+      special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
+      --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
+      same path.  A directory still cannot be replaced by a
+      regular file unless --delete specified.  (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+      readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated
+      files.  (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
