   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Made hard-linked symlinks and devices work again.
+    - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+      "use chroot" enabled.
 
-    - 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.
+    - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
 
-    - 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.
+    - Fixed the sending of xattr directory information when the code finds a
+      --link-dest or --copy-dest directory with unchanged xattrs -- the
+      destination directory now gets these unchanged xattrs properly applied.
+
+    - Fixed an xattr-sending glitch that could cause an "Internal abbrev"
+      error.
+
+    - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
+
+    - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+      exclude rule.
+
+    - Fixed deletion handling when copying a single, empty directory (with no
+      files) to a differently named, non-existent directory.
+
+    - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
+
+    - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+      errno when a function failed.
+
+    - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
+
+    - Moved the setting of the socket options prior to the connect().
+
+    - If rsync exits in the middle of a --progress output, it now outputs a
+      newline to help prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash or
+      a trailing dot-dir was compared against the daemon excludes.
+
+    - Fixed the sending of large (size > 16GB) files when talking to an older
+      rsync (protocols < 30):  we now use a compatible block size limit.
+
+    - If a file's length is so huge that we overflow a checksum buffer count
+      (i.e. several hundred TB), warn the user and avoid sending an invalid
+      checksum struct over the wire.
+
+    - If a source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+      arg's implied dirs to the transfer.  This fix also made the exclude
+      check happen in the better place in the sending code.
+
+    - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
+
+    - Improved the code to better handle a system that has only 32-bit file
+      offsets.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
-      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
-      files).
+    - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+      the daemon config file as "parameters".
+
+    - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
-      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+    - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+      compatibility improvements.
 
-    - 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. 
+    - Improved the daemon tests, including checking module comments, the
+      listing of files, and the ensuring that daemon excludes can't affect
+      a dot-dir arg.
 
-  INTERNAL:
+    - Improved some build rules for those that build in a separate directory
+      from the source, including better install rules for the man pages, and
+      the fixing of a proto.h-tstamp rule that could make the binaries get
+      rebuild without cause.
 
-    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
-      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+    - Improved the testsuite to work around a problem with some utilities
+      (e.g. cp -p & touch -r) rounding sub-second timestamps.
 
-    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
-      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
+    - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+      bleed-over into patches that follow.
