   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    * Lower memory use and more optimal transfer of data over
+      the socket (see the INTERNAL section for details).
+
     * The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
       "USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.

-    * Fixed the caching of the full PATH/NAME strings to avoid the
-      current name getting lost if too many other names were
-      expanded during the processing (such as when -H was
-      specified).  (Wayne Davison)
+    * Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might

+
+    * When specifying the USER@HOST: prefix for a file, the USER

+      is used to find the HOST, not the first).

+      to the sender.  (Wayne Davison)
