   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
-      This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
-      (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
-      combined with --link-dest).
+    - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
+      allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on system OSes).
 
-    - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
-      without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
-      it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
-      file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
-      a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
-      totally unchanged items).
+    - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
+      it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
-    - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
-      item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
+    - Improved the keep-alive in-loop check in the generator to work properly
+      in incremental recursion mode.
 
-    - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
-      time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
-
-    - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
-      unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
-      directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
-      ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
-      destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
+    - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
+      destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
+      a non-root copy can't affect.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
-      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
+    - 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.
+
+    - 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.
+
+    - 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).
+
+    - Rsync will not send an -e option to the server if the user specifies the
+      --protocol=29 option.  This lets rsync3 use an overly-restrictive server.
 
-    - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
-      that take them (instead of rejecting any such options).  The script was
-      also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
-      of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - Added more conditional debug output.
 
-    - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
-      NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
-      find in the /etc/group 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.
 
-    - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
-      -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
+    - The pool_alloc library has received some minor improvements in alignment
+      handling.
 
+    - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+      or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
