 Protocol: 31 (changed)
 Changes since 3.0.4:
 
+  OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+    - 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.  See also the daemon's
+      "log format" parameter and related command-line options (including
+      --out-format) for a modifier that can be used to request digit-grouping
+      or human-readable output in log escapes. (Note that log output is
+      unchanged by default.)
+
+    - The output of the --progress option has changed:  the string "xfer" was
+      shortened to "xfr", and the string "to-check" was shortened to "to-chk",
+      both designed to make room for the (by default) wider display of file
+      size numbers without making the total line-length longer.  Also, when
+      incremental recursion is enabled, the string "ir-chk" will be used
+      instead of "to-chk" up until the incremental-recursion scan is done,
+      letting you know that the value to check and the total value will still
+      be increasing as new files are found.
+
   BUG FIXES:
 
     - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
       it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
+    - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
+      its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
