     - Fixed some glitches in the double-verbose output when using --copy-dest,
       --link-dest, or --compare-dest.
 
+    - Fixed the matching of the dont-compress items (e.g. *.gz) against files
+      that have a path component containing a slash.
+
+    - If code reading a filter/exclude file an EINTR error, rsync now clears
+      the error flag on the file handle so it can keep on reading.
+
+    - If --relative is active, the sending side cleans up trailing "/" or "/."
+      suffixes to avoid triggering a bug in older rsync versions.  Also, we now
+      reject a ".." dir if it would be sent as a relative dir.
+
+    - If a non-directory is in the way of a directory and rsync is run with
+      --dry-run and --delete, rsync no longer complains about not being
+      able to opendir() the not-yet present directory.

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
     - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files

     - If --delete is combined with --dirs without --recursive, rsync will
       now delete in any directory whose content is being synchronized.
 
+    - If --backup is combined with --delete without --backup-dir (and
+      without --delete-excluded), we add a "protect" filter-rule to ensure
+      that files with the backup suffix are not deleted.
+
     - The file-count stats that are output by --progress were improved to
       better indicate what the numbers mean.  For instance, the output:
-      "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was transferred
-      file #5, and we still need to check 8383 files out of 9999 total.
+      "(xfer#5, to-check=8383/9999)" indicates that this was the fifth file
+      to be transferred, and we still need to check 8383 more files out of
+      a total of 9999.
+
+    - The include/exclude code now allows a dir/*** directive (with 3
+      trailing stars) to match both the dir itself as well as all the
+      content below the dir (dir/** would not match the dir).
+
+    - If the --itemize-changes (-i) option is repeated, rsync now includes
+      unchanged files in the itemized output (similar to -vv, but without
+      all the other verbose messages that can get in the way).  Of course,
+      the client must be version 2.6.7 for this to work, but the remote
+      rsync only needs to be 2.6.7 if you're pushing files.
 
     - Some minor documentation improvements.

     - Reduced the amount of stack memory needed for each level of directory
       recursion by nearly MAXPATHLEN bytes.
 
+    - The wildmatch function was extended to allow an array of strings to
+      be supplied as the string to match.  This allows the exclude code to
+      do less string copying.
+
+    - Got rid of the safe_fname() function (and all the myriad calls) and
