+Changes since 2.6.8:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
-      wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
-      is in effect.
+    - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
+      daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
+      destination dir is not at the top of the module's path:  both the value
+      of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e.  --link-dest,
+      --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
+      is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
+      preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
+      the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+
+    - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
+      or --size-only is specified.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - The support/rsyncstats script has an improved line-parsing regex that is
-      easier to read and also allows it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+    - ...
 
   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - A new patch was added: log-file.diff.  This contains an early version of
-      a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
-      actions to a file (which is only supported by a daemon at present).
+    - 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.
+
+    - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+
+    - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
+      consistent opening comments.
