     - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
       filter rules.
 
+    - Fixed a problem with the --out-format (aka --log-format) option:  it

     - 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.
 
+    - If --password-file is used on a non-daemon transfer, rsync now complains
