     - Fixed a bug in the daemon's "incoming chmod" rule:  newly-created
       directories no longer get the 'F' (file) rules applied to them.
 
+    - Fixed an infinite loop bug when a filter rule was rejected due to being
+      overly long.
+
+    - When the server receives a --partial-dir option from the client, it no
+      longer runs the client-side code that adds an assumed filter rule (since
+      the client will be sending us the rules in the usual manner, and they
+      may have chosen to override the auto-added rule).

       (The deprecated --remove-sent-files is still understood for now, and
       still behaves in the same way as before.)
 
+    - Added the option --no-motd to suppress the message-of-the-day output
+      from a daemon when doing a copy.  (See the manpage for a caveat.)
+
     - Added a new environment variable to the pre-/post-xfer exec commands (in
       the daemon's config file):  RSYNC_PID.  This value will be the same in
       both the pre- and post-xfer commands, so it can be used if the pre-xfer
       command wants to cache some arg/request info for the post-xfer command.
 
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    - Did a code audit using IBM's code-checker program and made several
+      changes, including: replacing most of the strcpy() and sprintf()
+      calls with strlcpy(), snprintf(), and memcpy(), adding a 0-value to
+      an enum that had been intermingling a literal 0 with the defined enum
+      values, silencing some uninitialized memory checks, marking some
+      functions with a "noreturn" attribute, and changing an "if" that
+      could never succeed on some platforms into a pre-processor directive
+      that conditionally compiles the code.
+
+    - Fixed a potential bug in f_name_cmp() when both the args are a
+      top-level "." dir (which doesn't happen in normal operations).
+
+    - Changed exit_cleanup() so that it can never return instead of exit.
+      The old code might return if it found the exit_cleanup() function
+      was being called recursively.  The new code is segmented so that
+      any recursive calls move on to the next step of the exit-processing.
+
+    - The macro WIFEXITED(stat) will now be defined if the OS didn't already
+      define it.

   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
     - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
       make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
+      The xattrs patch also has some preliminary Mac OS X compatibility code
+      that allows Macs and non-macs to exchange extended attributes.
+
+    - The rsync.yo and rsyncd.conf.yo files have been updated to work
+      better with the latest yodl 2.x releases.
 
     - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
