   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Made hard-linked symlinks and devices work again.
+    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.

+    - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
+      instead of just updating the permissions.

+    - 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
