     - Fixed a really old bug that caused --checksum (-c) to checksum all the
       files encountered during the delete scan (ouch).
 
+    - Fixed a potential hang in a remote generator:  when the receiver gets a
+      read-error on the socket, it now signals the generator about this so that
+      the generator does not try to send any of the terminating error messages
+      to the client (avoiding a potential hang in some setups).

   INTERNAL:
 
+    - We now use sigaction() and sigprocmask() if possible, and fall back on
+      signal() if not.  Using sigprocmask() ensures that rsync enables all the
+      signals that it needs, just in case it was started in a masked state.

     - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
       MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).

   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
+    - The diffs in the patches dir now require "patch -p1 <DIFF" instead of
+      the previous -p0.  Also, the version included in the release tar now
+      affect generated files (e.g. configure, rsync.1, proto.h, etc.), so
+      it is no longer necessary to run autoconf and/or yodl unless you're
+      applying a patch that was checked out from CVS.
+
     - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
       configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
       the newly patched feature.
 
-    - The testsuite now sets HOME so that it won't be affecting by a file
-      such as ~/.popt.
+    - There is a new script, "prepare-source" than can be used to update the
+      various generated files (proto.h, configure, etc.) even before configure
+      has created the Makefile (this is mainly useful when patching the source
+      with a patch that doesn't affect generated files).
