+    - When rsync deletes a directory and outputs a verbose message about
+      it, it now appends a trailing slash to the name instead of (only
+      sometimes) outputting a preceding "directory " string.

     - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
 
+    - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
+      that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
+
+    - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
+      referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the

+    - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
