+    - Fixed a hang if a really large file is being processed by an rsync that
+      can't handle 64-bit numbers.  Rsync will now complain about the file
+      being too big and skip it.
+
+    - For devices and special files, we now avoid gathering useless ACL and/or
+      xattr information for files that aren't being copied.  (The uncopied
+      files are still put into the file list, but there's no need to gather
+      data that is not going to be used.)  This ensures that if the user uses
+      --no-D, that rsync can't possibly complain about being unable to gather
+      extended information from special files that are in the file list (but
+      not in the transfer).
