+NEWS for rsync 3.0.4 (6 Sep 2008)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.3:
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
+      allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
+
+    - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
+      of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
+
+    - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created.  This
+      particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
+      be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
+      the --remove-source-files was also specified.
+
+    - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
+      destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
+      a non-root copy can't affect.
+
+    - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
+      incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
+
+    - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead
+      of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides
+      of the transfer).
+
+    - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
+      this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail
+      silently (the user now gets a warning about deletions being disabled
+      due to IO error as long as --ignore-errors was not specified).
+
+    - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename,
+      the error message sent back to the client no longer mangles the name
+      with the wrong charset conversion.
+
+    - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
+      the initial "struct acl" object.  Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+
+    - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
+
+    - Made human_num() and human_dnum() able to output a negative number
+      (rather than outputting a cryptic string of punctuation).
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
+      is requested (and thus the option would not be useful).  This lets the
+      user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
+      server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
+
+    - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+    - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+      or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
+
+    - Changed some commands in the testsuite's xattrs.test that called "rsync"
+      instead of "$RSYNC".
+
+    - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release and
+      to do even more consistency checks on the files.
