+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - 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).
+    - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+      it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
 
-    - Fixed a bug where a deferred FLOG message would get sent from the
-      generator to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite().  This
-      fixes the "unexpected tag 3" fatal error.
+    - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+      option.  Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+      matching items.
 
-    - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
-      or --size-only is specified.
+    - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
+      a signal.  This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
+      being able to get the exit status from the script.
+
+    - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+      filter rules.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
+      files (which includes local copies).  Version 2.6.9 would complete the
+      copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - ...
+    - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
+      delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
+      delete pass.
 
-  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+    - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
+      receiving side is at least version 3.0.0.  This means that you
+      can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
+      older rsync will generate an error.  *Be sure to never specify a 0
+      value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
+
+    - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
+      receiving side for all protocol versions.  For protocol 30, the use
+      of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
+      convey to the receiver what files are linked together.  This reduces
+      the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
+      moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
+      receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
+      older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
+      sides).
+
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+      easier without forcing variables via casts.
 
-    - 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.
+    - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+      string-handling functions.
 
-    - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+    - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
 
-    - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
-      consistent opening comments.
+    - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+      compiler warning.
+
+    - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+
+    - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
