   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+    - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+      it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
 
-    - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
-      instead of just updating the permissions.
+    - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+      option.  Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+      matching items.
 
-    - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
-      we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
-      hostspec as a filename.
+    - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
+      a signal.  This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
+      being able to get the exit status from the script.
 
-    - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
-      permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
-      the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
+    - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+      filter rules.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
+      files (which includes local copies).  Version 2.6.9 would complete the
+      copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
-      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
-      files).
+    - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
+      delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
+      delete pass.
+
+    - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
+      receiving side is at least version 3.0.0.  This means that you
+      can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
+      older rsync will generate an error.  *Be sure to never specify a 0
+      value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
 
-    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
-      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+    - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
+      receiving side for all protocol versions.  For protocol 30, the use
+      of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
+      convey to the receiver what files are linked together.  This reduces
+      the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
+      moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
+      receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
+      older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
+      sides).
 
-    - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing:  "pre-xfer exec"
-      and "post-xfer exec".  These allow a command to be specified on a
-      per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
-      transfer. 
+  INTERNAL:
 
-    - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
-      the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
-      should start.  For example, if you specify a source path of
-      rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
-      replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
-      dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
+    - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+      easier without forcing variables via casts.
 
-    - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
-      unwanted implied or default options.  For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
-      "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
-      file ownership that is implied by -a.
+    - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+      string-handling functions.
 
-  INTERNAL:
+    - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
+
+    - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+      compiler warning.
+
+    - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+
+    - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
 
-    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
-      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
-      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
