       items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
       allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
 
+    - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
+      phase.
+
     - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
       the modify time on directories.  This avoids confusing NFS.
 
+    - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
+      for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
+      "vanished".
+
     - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
       batch-processing options.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
+      onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+      as matching a normal directory from the sender.
+
     - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
 
     - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)

+    - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
+      SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.

     - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
