 Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
 Changes since 2.6.4:
 
+  OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+    - Non-printable chars in filenames are now output using backslash-
+      escaped characters rather than '?'s.  Any non-printable character is
+      output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash
+      is now output as "\\".  Rsync also uses your locale setting, which
+      should make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable (when
+      appropriate).
+
+    - If rsync received an empty file list when pulling files, it would
+      output an "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit
+      status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do
+      this under the same conditions when pushing files).  This was changed
+      to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior -- we
+      now do the normal end-of-run outputting (depending on options) and
+      exit with the appropriate exit status.
