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

     - 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
       hostspec as a filename.
 
+    - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+      permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+      the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.

   ENHANCEMENTS:
