   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
-      wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
-      is in effect.
-
-    - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
-      receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
-      never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
-      the EOF.  (This can happen when using stunnel).
-
-    - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as
-      that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position
-      beyond the failed read's data.
-
-    - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored
-      in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by
-      init).
-
-    - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
-      instead of silently ignoring the option.
+    - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+      it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
-      error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
+    - Added the --remote-option=OPT (-M OPT) command-line option that is useful
+      for things like sending a remote --log-file=FILE or --fake-super option.
+
+    - Added the --info=FLAGS and --debug=FLAGS options to allow finer-grained
+      control over what is output.  Added an extra type of --progress output
+      using --info=progress2.
 
-    - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
-      message.
+    - Added the "%C" escape to the log-output handling, which will output the
+      MD5 checksum of any transferred file, or all files if --checksum was
+      specified (when protocol 30 or above is in effect).
 
-    - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex
-      that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+  EXTRAS:
 
-    - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
-      attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
-      taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+    - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+      it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
 
   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
+    - Added more conditional debug output.
+
+    - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+      than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
 
-    - A new patch was added: log-file.diff.  This contains an early version of
-      a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
-      actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
+    - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+      handling.
