+      in the destination file can be severely limited by this, but there
+      are cases where this is more efficient, such as appending data.

     - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.

+    - Batch writing/reading has a brand-new implementation that is simpler,
+      fixes a few weird problems with the old code (such as no longer
+      sprinkling the batch files into different dirs or even onto different
+      systems), and is much less intrusive into the code (making it easier
+      to maintain for the future).  The new code generates just one data
+      file instead of three, which makes it possible to read the batch via
+      stdin.  Also, the old requirement of using the same fixed checksum-
+      seed for all batch processing has been removed.
