     - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
       over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
 
-    - Fixed a bug in the reading of the password file (by the daemon)
-      and the secrets file (by the client):  the files no longer need to
-      be terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.

+      specified.  (Note:  both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
+      work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
+      don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
 
     - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
       (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
 
+    - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
+      items are now excluded from being uploaded (if the module is not
+      read-only) in addition to the old download exclusion.
+
+    - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
+      the modify time on directories.  This avoids confusing NFS.
+
+    - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
+      batch-processing options.
+
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
+
+    - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
+
     - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
       and documented all these options in the man page.
 
   INTERNAL:
 
-    - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some memory and made
-      things easier to maintain.
+    - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
+      and made the code easier to maintain.
 
     - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
       rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
