 ### BUG FIXES:
 
+ - Fixed a bug with `--inplace` + `--sparse` where the destination file could
+   get reconstructed with bogus data.  This bug can be worked-around in older
+   rsync versions by also specifying `--no-W -M--no-W`.  When running 3.2.4 or
+   newer for your copy, rsync now sends `--no-W` to the remote rsync in such a
+   scenario (just in case the remote rsync is a version with this bug).
+
  - Fix a bug with `--mkpath` if a single-file copy specifies an existing
    destination dir with a non-existing destination filename.
