   BUG FIXES:

     - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer

       dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are
       manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top
       of the module's path.  These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
       same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
       potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the

+    - Fixed a bug in the %f logfile escape when receiving files: the

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Added the --log-file=FILE option that can be used to tell any rsync to
-      output what it is doing to a log file.  This works with a client rsync, a
-      non-daemon server rsync (see the man page for instructions), and also
-      allows the overriding of the rsyncd.conf setting when starting a daemon.
+    - Added the --log-file=FILE and --log-file-format=FORMAT options.  These
+      can be used to tell any rsync to output what it is doing to a log file.
+      They work with a client rsync, a non-daemon server rsync (see the man
+      page for instructions), and also allows the overriding of rsyncd.conf
+      settings when starting a daemon.
+
+    - The --log-format option was renamed to be --out-format to avoid confusing
+      it with affecting the log-file output.  (The old option remains as an
+      alias for the new to preserve backward compatibility.)
+
+    - Made "log file" and "syslog facility" settable on a per-module basis in
+      the daemon's config file.
+
+    - Added the "munge symlinks" daemon setting to enable the old-style
+      tweaking of "unsafe" symlinks, but it can now be consistently applied
+      regardless of how "use chroot" is set.
+
+    - Added a new environment variable to the pre-/post-xfer exec commands (in
+      the daemon's config file):  RSYNC_PID.  This value will be the same in
+      both the pre- and post-xfer commands, so it can be used if the pre-xfer
+      command wants to cache some arg/request info for the post-xfer command.
