+    - Fixed a couple bugs in the parsing of daemon-config excludes that could

     - A daemon doesn't try to auto-refuse the "iconv" option if iconv-support
       wasn't compiled in to the daemon (avoiding a warning in the logs).
 
+    - Fixed the inclusion of per-dir merge files from implied dirs.

     - Fixed the support/rrsync script to work with the latest options that
       rsync sends (including its flag-specifying use of -e to the server).
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:

     - When getting an error while asking an older rsync daemon for a file
       listing, rsync will try to notice if the error is a rejection of the
       --dirs (-d) option and let the user know how to work around the issue.
