     - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
       that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
 
-    - If the OS does not have lchown(), we no longer try to set the user
-      & group of a symlink (which would either fail or set the referent).
+    - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
+      referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the
+      user and group of a symlink.
+
+    - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time
+      rewriting loop after we're sure that the redo phase is complete.
+
+    - When --backup was specified with --partial-dir=DIR, don't try to
+      backup a file in DIR when DIR is relative.

       file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
       partial file.
 
+    - The --inplace support was enhanced to work with --compare-dest,
+      --link-dest, and (the new) --copy-dest options.
+
+    - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
+      files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at
+      once at the end of the transfer.  Only works when pulling, and uses
+      --link-dest.
+
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    - Added better checking of the checksum header values that come over
+      the socket.
+
+    - Improved the type of some variables for consistency and proper size.

   BUILD CHANGES:
 
     - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
