 Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
 Changes since 2.6.2:
 
+  OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+    - For anyone who is parsing rsync's verbose output using a script,
+      please note that the 2-line footer now uses the term "sent" instead
+      of "wrote" and "received" instead of "read".  If you are not parsing
+      the numeric values out of this footer, your script would probably be
+      better off using the empty line prior to the footer as the indicator
+      that the verbose output is over.
+      
+    - The --stats option was similarly affected to change "written" to
+      "sent" and "read" to "received".
