 NEWS for rsync 3.0.0 (UNRELEASED)

       matching items.
 
+    - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
+      a signal.  This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
+      being able to get the exit status from the script.
+
+    - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+      filter rules.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
+      files (which includes local copies).  Version 2.6.9 would complete the
+      copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - ...
+    - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
+      delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
+      delete pass.
+
+    - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
+      receiving side is at least version 3.0.0.  This means that you
+      can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
+      older rsync will generate an error.  *Be sure to never specify a 0
+      value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
+
+    - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
+      receiving side for all protocol versions.  For protocol 30, the use
+      of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
+      convey to the receiver what files are linked together.  This reduces
+      the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
+      moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
+      receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
+      older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
+      sides).
