       processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
       newline.
 
+    - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
+      to it as a "file".
+
+    - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
+      generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
+      the file by the destination filename.
+
+    - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
+      generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
+
+    - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
+      to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
+      of the cluster.
+
+    - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
+      no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the
+      receiving side.
+
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
+      of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
+      actual updating of the destination.  This allows you to divert all
+      the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
+      are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
+
     - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
       characters rather than '?'s.  Any non-printable character is output
       using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
 
+    - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
+      some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
+      password mismatch, etc.).  (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
+
+    - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
+      it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
+      really did expect the socket to close).
+
+    - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
+      back to using syslog.  This is better than a (typically) totally
+      silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).

   INTERNAL:
 
     - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
 
   BUILD CHANGES:
 
+    - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
+      rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
+
     - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
 
     - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
