   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a hang in the batch-reading code with incremental recursion.
+    - Fixed two buffer-overflow issues: one where a directory path that is
+      exactly MAXPATHLEN was not handled correctly, and one handling a
+      --backup-dir that is extra extra large.
 
-    - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
-      multiple connections.
+    - Fixed a potential crash when an rsync daemon has a filter/exclude list
+      and the transfer is using ACLs or extended attributes.
 
-    - Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that
-      have consecutive slashes in the value.
+    - Properly handle requesting remote filenames that start with a dash.
 
-    - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
+    - Fixed a bug in the comparing of upper-case letters in file suffixes for
+      --skip-compress.
 
-    - The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which
-      avoids a transfer error in the receiver.
+    - If an rsync daemon has a module configured without a path setting, rsync
+      will now disallow access to that module.
 
-    - Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was
-      an I/O during the sending of the file list.
+    - If the destination arg is an empty string, it will be treated as a
+      reference to the current directory (as 2.x used to do).
 
-    - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
-      start of the short options.
+    - Fixed a batch-file writing bug that would not write out the full set of
+      compatibility flags that the transfer was using.  This fixes a potential
+      protocol problem for a batch file that contains a sender-side I/O error:
+      it would have been sent in a way that the batch-reader wasn't expecting.
 
-    - Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code
-      23 instead of the proper exit code 24.
+    - Some improvements to the hard-linking code to ensure that device-number
+      hashing is working right, and to supply more information if the hard-link
+      code fails.
 
-    - Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy.
+    - The --inplace code was improved to not search for an impossible checksum
+      position.  The quadruple-verbose chunk[N] message will now mention when
+      an inplace chunk was handled by a seek rather than a read+write.
 
-    - Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the
-      receiving side when a mount-point directory did not match a directory in
-      the transfer.
+    - If we fail to connect to an rsync daemon, report all the connection
+      errors (e.g. ipv4 & ipv6), not just the last one.
 
-    - Fixed the dropping of an ACL mask when no named ACL values were present.
+    - Fixed an issue where an xattr and/or acl transfer that used an alt-dest
+      option (e.g. --link-dest) could output an error trying to itemize the
+      changes against the alt-dest directory's xattr/acl info but was instead
+      tryring to access the not-yet-existing new destination directory.
 
-    - Fixed an ACL/xattr corruption issue where the --backup option could cause
-      rsync to associate the wrong ACL/xattr information with received files.
+    - Improved xattr system-error messages to mention the full path to the
+      file.
 
-    - Fixed the use of --xattrs with --only-write-batch.
+    - Improved the unsafe-symlink errors messages.
 
-    - Fixed the use of --dry-run with --read-batch.
+    - Fixed a bug setting xattrs on new files that aren't user writable.
 
-    - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target.
+    - Fixed a bug with --fake-super when copying files and dirs that aren't
+      user writable.
 
-    - Fixed configure's --disable-debug option.
+    - Fix the popt arg parsing so that an option that doesn't take an arg will
+      reject an attempt to supply and arg.
 
-    - Fixed a run-time issue for systems that can't find iconv_open() by adding
-      the --disable-iconv-open configure option.
+    - A couple minor option tweaks to support/rrsync script, and also some
+      regex changes that make vim highlighting happier.
+
+    - A few manpage improvements.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+    - Use lchmod() whenever it is available (not just on symlinks).
+
+    - A couple fixes to the socketpair_tcp() routine.
+
+    - Updated the helper scripts in the packaging subdirectory.
+
+    - Renamed configure.in to configure.ac.
