+rsync changes since last release
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    * The --delete-after option now implies --delete.  (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir.  (Michael
+      Zimmerman)
+
+    * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
+      specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
+      server-daemon.  This allows someone to use daemon features, such
+      as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh.  (JD Paul)
+
+    * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+      destination field.
+
+    * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+      rsync will read from standard input.  (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+      unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+      (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
+      rsync run.  (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
+
+    * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion.  (Jon
+      Middleton)
+
+    * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
+      and "hosts deny" fields.  (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
+
+    * Set the default value of --modify-window to 1 on Cygwin.  (Lapo
+      Luchini)
+
+    * Open config files in text mode when O_TEXT is defined.  This helps
+      on Cygwin when the config files are on a filesystem that are mounted
+      in binary mode.  (Ville Herva)
+
+    * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
+      (Dave Dykstra)
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+  
+    * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3.  (John
+      L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+
+    * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
+      in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand.  This prevents
+      timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+
+    * Fix compilation on Tru64.  (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+
+    * Better handling of some client-server errors.  (Martin Pool)
+
+    * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
+      contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
+      list) and using --delete.  (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
+      dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
+      processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
+      an error.  (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
+
+    * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
+      broken.  (Dave Dykstra)
+
+    * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
+      (Sviatoslav Sviridov)
+
+    * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
+      when --relative-paths/-R is set.  (Craig Barratt)
+
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.  (Martin 
+      Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+
+    * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
+
+    * More test cases.  (Martin Pool)
+
+    * Some test-case fixes.  (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
+      (Jos Backus)
+
+    * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
+      means rsync should build on more platforms.  (Paul Green)
