+NEWS for rsync 3.0.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.2:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
-      was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
-      file).
+    - Fixed a wildcard matching problem in the daemon when a module has
+      "use chroot" enabled.
 
-    - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
-      that already exists in the --backup-dir.
+    - Fixed a crash bug in the hard-link code.
 
-    - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
-      setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
-      mkstemp().  (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
+    - Fixed the combination of --xattrs and --backup.
 
-    - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
-      the sender, and the file-list is large.
+    - The generator no longer allows a '.' dir to be excluded by a daemon-
+      exclude rule.
 
-    - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
-      FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
-      necessary.
+    - Fixed the conversion of spaces into dashes in the %M log escape.
 
-    - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
+    - Fixed several places in the code that were not returning the right
+      errno when a function failed.
 
-    - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure.
+    - Fixed the backing up of a device or special file into a backup dir.
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS:
+    - 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 prevent the progress line from being overwritten.
 
-    - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
-      use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
+    - Fixed a problem with how a destination path with a trailing slash was
+      compared against the daemon excludes.
 
-    - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
+    - 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.
 
-    - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file (promoted from the
-      patches dir).
+    - If an source arg is excluded, --relative no longer adds the excluded
+      arg's implied dirs to the transfer.
 
-    - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
-      that it copies identical files.
+    - Use the overflow_exit() function for overflows, not out_of_memory().
 
-    - Added support for multiple --*-dest options (promoted from the
-      patches dir).
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
-      so that they can't be mixed together.  This makes it impossible for a
-      user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
-      could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
+    - The rsyncd.conf manpage now consistently refers to the parameters in
+      the daemon config file as "parameters".
 
-    - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
-      to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
-      that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
+    - The description of the --inplace option was improved.
 
-    - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
-      file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
-      partial file.
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - Fixed a testcase failure if the tests are run as root and made some
+      compatibility improvements.
 
-    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
+    - Ensure that the early patches don't cause any generated-file hunks to
+      bleed-over into patches that follow.
