   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
-      multiple source directories were specified.
+    - 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
+      config file.
 
-    - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
-      over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
-
-    - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
-      the password file (by the client):  the files no longer need to be
-      terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
-
-    - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
-      no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
-      specified.  (Note:  both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
-      work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
-      don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
-
-    - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
-      (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
-
-    - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
-      items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
-      allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
-
-    - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
-      phase.
-
-    - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
-      the modify time on directories.  This avoids confusing NFS.
-
-    - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
-      for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
-      "vanished".
-
-    - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
-      refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
-      to just exit).
-
-    - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
-      batch-processing options.
+    - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+      permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
-      onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
-      as matching a normal directory from the sender.
-
-    - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
-
-    - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
-      and documented all these options in the man page.
-
-    - Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
-      bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
-      values.
-
-    - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
-      SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.
-
-    - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
+    - 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 "\\".
 
   INTERNAL:
 
-    - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
-      and made the code easier to maintain.
-
-    - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
-      rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
 
   BUILD CHANGES:
 
-    - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
-      including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
-
-    - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
-      proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be
-      updated).
-
-  DEVELOPER RELATED:
-
-    - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
-
-    - A few new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
-      ones were removed.
-
+    - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
