       --dry-run and --delete, rsync no longer complains about not being able
       to opendir() the not-yet present directory.
 
+    - When --list-only is used and a non-existent local destination dir was
+      also specified as a destination, rsync no longer generates a warning
+      about being unable to create the missing directory.
+
+    - Fixed some problems with --relative --no-implied-dirs when the
+      destination directory did not yet exist:  we can now create a symlink or
+      device when it is the first thing in the missing dir, and --fuzzy no
+      longer complains about being unable to open the missing dir.
+
+    - Fixed a bug where the --copy-links option would not affect implied
+      directories without --copy-unsafe-links (see --relative).
+
     - Got rid of the need for --force to be used in some circumstances with
       --delete-after (making it consistent with --delete-before/-during).
 
     - Rsync now ignores the SIGXFSZ signal, just in case your OS sends this
       when a file is too large (rsync handles the write error).
 
+    - Fixed a bug in the Proxy-Authorization header's base64-encoded value: it
+      was not properly padded with trailing '=' chars.  This only affects a
+      user that need to use a password-authenticated proxy for an outgoing
+      daemon-rsync connection.
+
+    - Fixed a bug in the debug output (-vvvvv) that could mention the wrong
+      checksum for the current file offset.
+
+    - Rsync no longer allows a single directory to be copied over a non-
+      directory destination arg.
