-    - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
-      sanitizes the symlink target strings (by default).  This means that each
-      symlink's value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink
-      info intact.  Also, in order to keep things safe, all arg paths and any
-      dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are
-      manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top
-      of the module's path.  These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
-      same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
-      potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the
-      module's hierarchy.  See also the new "munge symlinks" daemon setting.
