   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
-      not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
-      rsyncd.conf file.
-
-    - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
-      permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
-
-    - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
-      basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+    - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
+      wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
       is in effect.
 
-    - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
-      processing.
-
-    - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
-      addition to its use in daemon mode).
-
-    - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
-      processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
-      newline.
+    - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
+      receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
+      never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
+      the EOF.  (This can happen when using stunnel).
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
-      of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
-      actual updating of the destination.
-
-    - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
-      characters rather than '?'s.  Any non-printable character is output
-      using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
-
-    - Improved the auth-errors that are logged for the daemon to include
-      some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
-      password mismatch, etc.).
-
-    - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
-      it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
-      really did expect the socket to close).
-
-  INTERNAL:
+    - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
+      error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
 
-    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+    - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
+      easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - A new script, support/file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
+      attributes of a fileset (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
+      taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
 
-    - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
-      refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+    - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
 
-    - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
-      the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
-      presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
+    - A new patch was added: log-file.diff.  This contains an early version of
+      a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
+      actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
