   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).
-
-    - 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 the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
+      daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
+      destination dir is not at the top of the module's path:  both the value
+      of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e.  --link-dest,
+      --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
+      is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
+      preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
+      the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+
+    - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
+      directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
+      generator.  This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should
+      also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from
+      the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client
+      process.  (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was
+      receiving files.)
+
+    - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
+      or --size-only is specified.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
-      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
+    - ...
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - 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).
+    - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
+      make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
 
-    - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
-      -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
+    - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
 
+    - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
+      consistent opening comments.
