+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+      Zimmerman)
+
+    * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
+      specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
+      server-daemon.  This allows someone to use daemon features, such
+      as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+
+    * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+      destination field.
+
+    * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+      rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+      unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+      (J.W. Schultz)

   BUG FIXES:
   
     * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3.  (John
       L. Allen, Martin Pool)
 
+    * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
+      in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand.  This prevents
+      timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+
     * Fix compilation on Tru64.  (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
 
     * Better handling of some client-server errors.  (Martin Pool)
 
+    * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
+      contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
+      list) and using --delete.  (Wayne Davison)
+
   INTERNAL:
 
     * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.  (Martin
