   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
-      without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
-      it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
-      file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged
-      hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
-      unchanged files).
+    - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+      "use chroot" enabled.
 
-    - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
-      item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
+    - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+
+    - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
+      --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
+      destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
+
+    - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
+      error.
+
+    - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+    - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+      exclude rule.
+
+    - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
+      files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
+
+    - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+    - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+      errno when a function failed.
+
+    - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+
+    - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+
+    - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+      newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
+      a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+    - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older
+      rsync (protocols < 30):  we now use a compatible block size limit.
+
+    - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+      (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+      checksum struct over the wire.
+
+    - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+      arg's implied dirs to the transfer.  This fix also made the exclude
+      check happen in the better place in the sending code.
+
+    - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
+
+    - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
+      offsets.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
-      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
+    - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+      the daemon config file as "parameters".
+
+    - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+    - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+      compatibility improvements.
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the
+      listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect
+      a dot-dir arg.
 
-    - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
-      NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
-      find in the /etc/group file).
+    - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory
+      from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and
+      the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get
+      rebuild without cause.
 
-    - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
-      -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
+    - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities
+      (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps.
 
+    - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+      bleed-over into patches that follow.
