-<p>Rsync version 3.0.0pre8 is now available for release testing. This

+<p>Rsync version 3.0.0pre9 is now available for release testing. We needed
+one last bug-fix release prior to the final 3.0.0 release, so here it is!

incremental recursion scan (which helps a lot with large transfers) and the
any questions, comments, or bug reports.
