+    - Fixed a bug when --inplace was combined with a --*-dest option and we
+      update a file's data using an alternate basis file.  The code now
+      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

       The xattrs patch also has some preliminary Mac OS X compatibility code

+    - A new diff in the patches dir, fake-root.diff, allows rsync to
+      maintain a backup hierarchy with full owner, group, and device info

     - The rsync.yo and rsyncd.conf.yo files have been updated to work
       better with the latest yodl 2.x releases.
