       execute bit on files, for those times when using the --perms option is

+    - The daemon now logs each module-list request it receives.
+
+    - New log-format options: %M (modtime), %U (uid), %G (gid), and %B
+      (permission bits, e.g. "rwxr-xrwt").

     - Some minor documentation improvements.
 
     - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
 
   INTERNAL:
 
+    - We now use sigaction() and sigprocmask() if possible, and fall back on
+      signal() if not.  Using sigprocmask() ensures that rsync enables all the
+      signals that it needs, just in case it was started in a masked state.
+
     - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
       MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).

   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
+    - The diffs in the patches dir now require "patch -p1 <DIFF" instead of
+      the previous -p0.  Also, the version included in the release tar now
+      affect generated files (e.g. configure, rsync.1, proto.h, etc.), so
+      it is no longer necessary to run autoconf and/or yodl unless you're
+      applying a patch that was checked out from CVS.
+
     - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
       configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
       the newly patched feature.
 
-    - The testsuite now sets HOME so that it won't be affecting by a file
-      such as ~/.popt.
+    - There is a new script, "prepare-source" than can be used to update the
+      various generated files (proto.h, configure, etc.) even before configure
+      has created the Makefile (this is mainly useful when patching the source
+      with a patch that doesn't affect generated files).
