+    - 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
       gets its proper path value so that the output of the dry-run is right.

   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
     - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
       make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+      The xattrs patch also has some preliminary Mac OS X compatibility code
+      that allows Macs and non-macs to exchange extended attributes.
+
+    - A new diff in the patches dir, fake-root.diff, allows rsync to
+      maintain a backup hierarchy with full owner, group, and device info
+      without actually running as root.  It does this using a special
+      extended attribute, so it depends on xattrs.diff (which depends on
+      acls.diff).
 
     - The rsync.yo and rsyncd.conf.yo files have been updated to work
       better with the latest yodl 2.x releases.
