+NEWS for rsync 3.1.0 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 31 (changed)
+Changes since 3.0.4:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
-      was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
-      file).
+    - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+      it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
-    - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
-      that already exists in the --backup-dir.
-
-    - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
-      setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
-      mkstemp().  (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
-      the sender, and the file-list is large.
+    - 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.
 
-    - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
-      FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
-      necessary.
+    - 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.
 
-    - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
+    - Output numbers in 3-digit groups by default (e.g. 1,234,567).  (See the
+      --human-readable option for a way to turn it off.)
 
-    - One place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
+    - Added a "T" (terabyte) category to the --human-readable size suffixes.
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS:
+    - Enhanced the --stats output: 1) to mention how many files were created
+      (protocol >= 28), 2) to mention how many files were deleted (new for
+      protocol 31), and 3) to follow the file-count, created-count, and
+      deleted-count with a break-out list of each count by type.
 
-    - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
-      use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
+    - Added the --usermap/--groupmap/--chown options for manipulating file
+      ownership during the copy.
 
-    - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
-      that it includes copies of identical files.
+    - 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).
 
-    - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
-      --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
-      patches dir and enhanced.)
+  EXTRAS:
 
-    - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
+    - Added an "instant-rsyncd" script to the support directory, which makes
+      it easy to configure a simple rsync daemon in the current directory.
 
-    - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
-      so that they can't be mixed together.  This makes it impossible to
-      start a daemon that had improper default option values that could
-      cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects.
+    - Added the "mapfrom" and "mapto" scripts to the support directory, which
+      makes it easier to do user/group mapping in a local transfer based on
+      passwd/group files from another machine.
 
-    - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
-      to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
-      that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
-      the patches dir.)
+    - Added more conditional debug output.
 
-    - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
-      file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
-      partial file.
+    - Really big numbers are now output using our own big-num routine rather
+      than casting them to a double and using a %.0f conversion.
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+      handling.
 
-    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
+    - Added init_stat_x() function to avoid duplication of acl/xattr init code.
