   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
-      otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
+    * The --delete-after option now implies --delete.  (Wayne Davison)
 
-    * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
-      accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
-      (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
+    * 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)
 
   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 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)
 
-    * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
-      slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
-      current user.  Yes, really!  (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+    * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
+      (Sviatoslav Sviridov)
 
-    * Fix test suite on Solaris.  (Jos Backus)
+  INTERNAL:
 
-    * Fix minor memory leak in socket code.  (Dave Dykstra, Martin
-      Pool.)
+    * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.  (Martin 
+      Pool, Nelson Beebe)
 
-    * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
-      for remote connections.  (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+    * More test cases.  (Martin Pool)
 
-    * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
-      trailing slashes.
-      <http://www.opensource.apple.com/bugs/X/BSD%20Kernel/2734739.html>
-      (Martin Pool)
+    * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
+      (Jos Backus)
