   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
-
-    - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
-      permissions without recreating the file.
-
-    - 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.
-
-    - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
-      algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
-
-    - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
-      fails.
-
-    - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
+    - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+      it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an 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).
-
-    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
-      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
-
-    - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing:  "pre-xfer exec"
-      and "post-xfer exec".  These allow a command to be specified on a
-      per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
-      transfer. 
-
-    - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
-      the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
-      should start.  For example, if you specify a source path of
-      rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
-      replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
-      dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+    - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
+      for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
 
-    - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
-      unwanted implied or default options.  For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
-      "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
-      file ownership that is implied by -a.
+    - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained
+      control over what is output.  Added an extra type of --progress output
+      using --info=progress2.
 
-    - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
-      which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+    - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
+      MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
+      specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
 
-    - Some minor documentation improvements.
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-  INTERNAL:
+    - Added more conditional debug output.
 
-    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
-      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+    - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+      than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
 
-    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
-      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+    - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+      handling.
