 NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
-Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
-Changes since 3.0.3:
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
+
+  OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+    - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567).  See the
+      --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.  See also the daemon's
+      "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including
+      --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping
+      or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is
+      unchanged by default.)
+
+    - The output of the --progress option has changed:  the string "xfer" was
+      shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk",
+      both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file
+      size numbers without making the total line-length longer.  Also, when
+      incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used
+      instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done,
+      letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still
+      be increasing as new files are found.
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
     - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
       it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
-    - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
-      in incremental recursion mode.

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
     - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful

       control over what is output.  Added an extra type of --progress output
       using --info=progress2.
 
-    - Rsync will not send an -e option to the server if the user specifies the
-      --protocol=29 option.  This lets rsync3 use an overly-restrictive server.
+    - Added the --delete-missing option to delete user-specified files on the
+      receiver that are missing on the sender (normally the absence of user-
+      specified files generates an error).
+
+    - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
+
+    - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
+      (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for
+      protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
+      deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
+
+    - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+      ownership during the copy.
+
+    - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
+      MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
+      specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
+
+    - Added the "reverse lookup" parameter to the rsync daemon config file to
+      allow reverse-DNS lookups to be disabled.
+
+    - Added a way for supplementary groups to be specified in the rsyncd.conf
+      file.  Also made explicitly-set uid/gid values no longer ignored by a
+      daemon that was not run by a super-user.
+
+  EXTRAS:
+
+    - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+      it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
+
+    - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which
+      makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
+      passwd/group files from another machine.
 
   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - ...
+    - Added more conditional debug output.
+
+    - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+      than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
+
+    - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+      handling.
+
+    - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
