     - When rsync deletes a directory and outputs a verbose message about
       it, it now appends a trailing slash to the name instead of (only
       sometimes) outputting a preceding "directory " string.
+
+    - The --stats output will contain time file-list time statistics if
+      both sides are 2.6.4, or if the local side is 2.6.4 and the files

     - The generator now properly runs the hard-link loop and the dir-time

   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
     - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
       use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
 
+    - Added the --delete-during (--del) option which will delete files
+      from on the receiving side incrementally as each directory in the
+      transfer is being processed (which makes it more efficient than the
+      default, before-the-transfer behavior of --delete).  Note that the
+      --del option is implemented as an internally-defined popt alias, so
+      an rsync daemon that refuses "delete" (which, for safety's sake,
+      really matches "delete*") will still refuse all delete options.
+
     - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
       that it includes copies of identical files.

+      makes the updates a little more atomic for a large transfer.
+
+  SUPPORT FILES:
+
     - Added support/atomic-rsync -- a perl script that will transfer some
       files using rsync, and then move the updated files into place all at

-      --link-dest.

+    - Added support/mnt-excl that takes the /proc/mounts file and
+      translates it into a set of excludes that will exclude all mount
+      points (even mapped mounts to the same disk).  The excludes are made
+      relative to the specified source dir and properly anchored.
+
+    - Added support/savetransfer.c -- a C program that can make a copy of
+      all the data that flows over the wire.  This lets you test for data
+      corruption (by saving the data on both the sending side and the
+      receiving side) or provides a way to help debug a protocol error.
+
+    - Added support/rrsync -- my version of Joe Smith's restricted rsync
+      perl script.  This helps to ensure that only certain rsync commands
+      can be run by an ssh invocation.
