+    - Fixed a bug when --inplace was combined with a --*-dest option and we

+      notices that it needs to copy the matching data from the basis file

     - Fixed a bug where using --dry-run with a --*-dest option with a path
       relative to a directory that does not yet exist:  the affected option
       gets its proper path value so that the output of the dry-run is right.

   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
     - 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.
+      The xattrs patch also has some preliminary Mac OS X compatibility code
+      that allows Macs and non-macs to exchange extended attributes.
 
     - The rsync.yo and rsyncd.conf.yo files have been updated to work
       better with the latest yodl 2.x releases.
