   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
-      not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
-      config file.
+    - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+      it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
 
-    - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
-      permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+    - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+      option.  Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+      matching items.
 
-    - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
-      basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
-      in in effect.
+    - 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:
 
-    - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
-      characters rather than '?'s.  Any non-printable character is output
-      using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
+    - 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).
 
   INTERNAL:
 
-    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
+    - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+      easier without forcing variables via casts.
+
+    - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+      string-handling functions.
+
+    - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
+
+    - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+      compiler warning.
+
+    - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+
+    - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.

-    - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
