 ### BUG FIXES:

+- Fixed the validating of remote filter rules.

+- When rsync gets an unpack error on an ACL, mention the filename.
 
 ### ENHANCEMENTS:
 
 - Added negotiated daemon-auth support that allows a stronger checksum digest
   to be used.  Added SHA512, SHA256, and SHA1 digests to MD5 & MD4.  These new

 - Added support for SHA1, SHA256, and SHA512 digests in file checksums.  While

+  negotiation list.
+
+- Improved the xattr hash table to use a 64-bit key (which should ensure fewer
+  collisions).
+
+- If the `--version` option is repeated (e.g. `-VV`) then the information is
+  output in a (still human-readable) JSON format (client side only).
+
+- The script `support/json-rsync-version` is available to get the JSON style
+  version output from any rsync.  The script accepts either text on stdin
+  **or** an arg that specifies an rsync executable to run with a doubled
+  `--version` option.  If the text we get isn't already in JSON format, it is
+  converted. Newer rsync versions will provide more complete info than older
+  versions.
