       processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
       newline.

   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.
+
     - 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

     - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
 
     - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
