   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
-      config file.
+    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
 
-    - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
-      permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+    - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
+      instead of just updating the permissions.
+
+    - 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.
+
+    - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+      permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+      the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - 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 "\\".
+    - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+      files).
 
-  INTERNAL:
+    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
 
-    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+    - 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. 
+
+    - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+      the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+      should start.  For example, if you specify a source path of
+      rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
+      replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+      dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+
+  INTERNAL:
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
 
-    - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
