   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
-      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.
+    - 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.
 
   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:
-
-    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
-
-  BUILD CHANGES:
-
-    - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+    - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+      files).
 
-    - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
-      refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
 
-    - 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.
+    - 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.
