Got rid of the check_for_io_err code, as it could cause a hang.

   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code.
+    - Fixed a bug in the hard-linking code where it would sometimes try to
+      allocate 0 bytes of memory (which fails on some OSes, such as AIX).
+
+    - Fixed the hard-linking of files from a device that has a device number
+      of 0 (which seems to be a common device number on NetBSD).
+
+    - Fixed the handling of a --partial-dir that cannot be created.  This
+      particularly impacts the --delay-updates option (since the files cannot
+      be delayed without a partial-dir), and was potentially destructive if
+      the --remove-source-files was also specified.
+
+    - Fixed a couple issues in the --fake-super handling of xattrs when the
+      destination files have root-level attributes (e.g. selinux values) that
+      a non-root copy can't affect.
+
+    - Improved the keep-alive check in the generator to fire consistently in
+      incremental-recursion mode when --timeout is enabled.
+
+    - The --iconv option now converts the content of a symlink too, instead
+      of leaving it in the wrong character-set (requires 3.0.4 on both sides
+      of the transfer).
+
+    - When using --iconv, if a filename fails to convert on the receiving side,
+      this no longer makes deletions in the root-dir of the transfer fail
+      silently (the user should see the warning about deletions being disabled
+      due to IO error when --ignore-errors was not specified).
+
+    - When using --iconv, if a server-side receiver can't convert a filename,
+      it now outputs the name back to the client without mangling the charset.
+
+    - Fixed a potential alignment issue in the IRIX ACL code when allocating
+      the initial "struct acl" object.  Also, cast mallocs to avoid warnings.
+
+    - Changed some errors that were going to stdout to go to stderr.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - None.
+    - Rsync will avoid sending an -e option to the server if an older protocol
+      is requested (and thus the option would not be useful).  This lets the
+      user specify the --protocol=29 option to access an overly-restrictive
+      server that is rejecting the protocol-30 use of -e to the server.
+
+    - Improved the message output for an RERR_PARTIAL exit.
 
   DEVELOPER RELATED:
 
-    - The RPM spec file was improved to install more useful files.
+    - The Makefile will not halt for just a timestamp change on the Makefile
+      or the configure files, only for actual changes in content.
 
-    - A few developer-oriented scripts were moved from the support dir
-      to the packaging dir.
+    - Enhanced the release scripts to be able to handle a branch release.
