   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    * "ssh" is now the default remote shell for rsync.  If you want to
+      change this, configure like this:  "./configure --with-rsh=rsh".
+
     * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
       Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
-      --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
+      files read by the --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
 
     * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
       27. (J.W. Schultz)

     * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
       unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
 
+    * Added a new error/warning code for when files vanish from the
+      sending side.  Made vanished source files not interfere with the
+      file-deletion pass when --delete-after was specified.
+
   BUG FIXES:
 
+    * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+      This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
+      matching more consistent and intuitive.  This should hopefully not
+      cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
+      what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
+
+      - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
+        For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
+
+      - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo).
+
+      - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
+        the transfer.  E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
+        just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does.
+
+      - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
+        against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
+        there aren't any interior slashes in the term.  E.g. "foo**bar"
+        would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
+        "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance).
+
     * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
       properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
-      user's file args are in the source tree.  (Wayne Davison)

     * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
       consistent manner.
 
-    * Fixed some exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
-      For instance, "**/foo" now matches at the root, "CVS/R*" now
-      matches beyond the root, and "foo**bar" is matched against the

     * Fixed file I/O error detection.  (John Van Essen)
 
     * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
       that contains already-compressed data.  (Yasuoka Masahiko and
       Wayne Davison)
 
+    * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+      to not get backed up.
+
+    * Call setgroups() in a more portable manner.
+
+    * Improved file-related error messages to better indicate exactly
+      what pathname failed. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when
+      using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing
+      special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or
+      --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the
+      same path.  A directory still cannot be replaced by a
+      regular file unless --delete specified.  (J.W. Schultz)

+    * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and
+      readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated
+      files.  (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz)
