   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
-      sanitizes the symlink target strings.  This means that each symlink's
-      value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info
-      intact.  Also, in order to keep things safe, any option that tells a
-      non-chroot daemon to treat some symlinks as their referent (such as
-      --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) now manually checks the symlink chain
-      to ensure that the symlinks do not try to escape past the top of the
-      module's path.  Both these changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
-      same as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
-      potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the
-      module's hierarchy.
-
-    - Fixed a overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --*-dest
-      options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest):  if the copy's
-      destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, these
-      options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references (since
-      these options are relative to the destination dir).  The old code
-      incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
-      how deep the destination directory was in the hierarchy.
-
-    - 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.
-
-    - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
-      chroot.
+    - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+      "use chroot" enabled.
+
+    - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
+
+    - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+    - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+      exclude rule.
+
+    - 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 prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+      compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+    - 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 an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+      arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
+
+    - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - ...
+    - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+      the daemon config file as "parameters".
 
-  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+    - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
 
-    - 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.
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+    - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+      compatibility improvements.
 
-    - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
-      consistent opening comments.
+    - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+      bleed-over into patches that follow.
