@@ -7,12 +7,63 @@ Changes since 3.1.3:
     - Avoid a potential out-of-bounds read in daemon mode if argc can be made
       to become 0.
 
+    - Fix the default list of skip-compress files for non-daemon transfers.
+
     - Fix xattr filter rules losing an 'x' attribute in a non-local transfer.
 
-    - Fix a compiler error/warning about shifting a negative value (in the zlib
-      code).
+    - Avoid an error when a check for a potential fuzzy file happens to
+      reference a directory.
+
+    - Make the atomic-rsync helper script have a more consistent error-exit.
+
+    - Make sure that a signal handler calls _exit() instead of exit().
+
+    - Various zlib fixes, including security fixes for CVE-2016-9843,
+      CVE-2016-9842, CVE-2016-9841, and CVE-2016-9840.
+
+    - Fixed an issue with --remove-source-files not removing a source symlink
+      when combined with --copy-links.
+
+    - Fixed the block-size validation logic when dealing with older protocols.
+
+    - Some rrsync fixes and enhancements to handle the latest options.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    - Improved the --write-devices patch and promoted it to be in the release.
+
+    - Added openssl support to the rsync-ssl script via its renamed helper
+      script, rsync-ssl-rsh.  Install both bash scripts by default now
+      (removing the install-ssl-client make target).  Rsync was also enhanced
+      to set the RSYNC_PORT environment variable when running a daemon-over-rsh
+      script. Its value is the user-specified port number (set via --port or an
+      rsync:// URL) or 0 if the user didn't override the port.
+
+    - Added a status output based on a signal (via both SIGINFO & SIGVTALRM).
+
+    - Added a --copy-as=USER option to give some extra security to root-run
+      rsync commands into/from untrusted directories (such as backups and
+      restores).
+
     - Added support for RSYNC_SHELL & RSYNC_NO_XFER_EXEC environment variables
       that affect the pre-xfer exec and post-xfer exec rsync daemon options.
+
+    - Fixed a crash in the --iconv code.
+
+    - Fixed a problem with the --link-dest|--copy-dest code when --xattrs was
+      specified along with multiple alternate-destination directories (it could
+      possibly choose a bad file match while trying to find a better xattr
+      match).
+
+    - Various manpage improvements.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+    - Silenced some annoying warnings about major()|minor() due to the autoconf
+      include-file check not being smart enough.
+
+    - Improved some configure checks to work better with strict C99 compilers.
+
+    - Some perl scripts were recoded into awk and python3.
+
+    - Some code typos were fixed (as pointed out by a Fossies run).
