     - 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).
+
+    - If waitpid() fails or the child rsync didn't exit cleanly, we now handle
+      the exit status properly and generate a better error.
+
   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.

     - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
       which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
 
+    - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
+      now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
+
+    - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
+      better indicate what the numbers mean.  For instance, the output:
+      "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was transferred
+      file #5, and we still need to check 8383 files out of 9999 total.
