+Protocol: 30 (changed)
+Changes since 2.6.9:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a bug in the exclude code where an anchored exclude without any
-      wildcards fails to match an absolute source arg, but only when --relative
-      is in effect.
+    - Fixed the output of -ii when combined with one of the --*-dest options:
+      it now itemizes all the items, not just the changed ones.
 
-    - Improved the I/O code for the generator to fix a potential hang when the
-      receiver gets an EOF on the socket but the generator's select() call
-      never indicates that the socket is writable for it to be notified about
-      the EOF.  (This can happen when using stunnel).
+    - Made the output of all file types consistent when using a --*-dest
+      option.  Prior versions used to output too many creation events for
+      matching items.
 
-    - Fixed a problem with the file-reading code where a failed read (such as
-      that caused by a bad sector) would not advance the file's read-position
-      beyond the failed read's data.
+    - The code that waits for a child pid now handles being interrupted by
+      a signal.  This fixes a problem with the pre-xfer exec function not
+      being able to get the exit status from the script.
 
-    - Fixed a logging bug where the "log file" directive was not being honored
-      in a single-use daemon (one spawned by a remote-shell connection or by
-      init).
+    - A negated filter rule now sends the negation option when sending the
+      filter rules.
 
-    - If rsync cannot honor the --delete option, we output an error and exit
-      instead of silently ignoring the option.
+    - Fixed a problem with -vv (double --verbose) and --stats when "pushing"
+      files (which includes local copies).  Version 2.6.9 would complete the
+      copy, but exit with an error when the receiver output its memory stats.
 
-    - Fixed a bug in the --link-dest code that prevented special files (such as
-      fifos) from being linked.
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - The ability to hard-link symlinks and special files is now determined at
-      configure time instead of at runtime.  This fixes a bug with --link-dest
-      creating a hard-link to a symlink's referent on a BSD system.
+    - Added the --delete-delay option, which is a more efficient way to
+      delete files at the end of the transfer without needing a separate
+      delete pass.
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS:
+    - You may specify --max-delete=0 to a 3.0.0 client as long as the
+      receiving side is at least version 3.0.0.  This means that you
+      can pull from an older rsync with this option, but pushing to an
+      older rsync will generate an error.  *Be sure to never specify a 0
+      value to an older rsync client, or it will be silently ignored.*
 
-    - In daemon mode, if rsync fails to bind to the requested port, the
-      error(s) returned by socket() and/or bind() are now logged.
+    - The --hard-link option now uses less memory on both the sending and
+      receiving side for all protocol versions.  For protocol 30, the use
+      of a hashtable on the sending side allows us to more efficiently
+      convey to the receiver what files are linked together.  This reduces
+      the amount of data sent over the socket by a considerable margin, and
+      moves the in-memory storage of the device+inode information from the
+      receiving side (for protocols < 30) to the sending side (note that
+      older rsync versions kept the device+inode information on both
+      sides).
 
-    - When we output a fatal error, we now output the version of rsync in the
-      message.
+  INTERNAL:
 
-    - The rsyncstats script in "support" has an improved line-parsing regex
-      that is easier to read and also makes it to parse syslog-generated lines.
+    - Added some isType() functions that make dealing with signed characters
+      easier without forcing variables via casts.
 
-    - A new script in "support": file-attr-restore, can be used to restore the
-      attributes of a file-set (the permissions, ownership, and group info)
-      taken from the cached output of a "find ARG... -ls" command.
+    - Upgraded the included popt version to 1.10.2 and improved its use of
+      string-handling functions.
 
-  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+    - Added missing prototypes for compatibility functions from the lib dir.
 
-    - Removd two unused configure checks and two related (also unused)
-      compatibility functions.
+    - Configure determines if iconv() has a const arg, allowing us to avoid a
+      compiler warning.
 
-    - The acls.diff patch has been improved quite a bit, with more to come.
+    - Made the sending of some numbers more efficient for protocol 30.
+
+    - Improved the use of "const" on pointers.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - A new patch was added: log-file.diff.  This contains an early version of
-      a future option, --log-file=FILE, that will allow any rsync to log its
-      actions to a file (something that only a daemon supports at present).
