   BUG FIXES:
 
+    - Fixed a bug in incremental recursion transfers where an I/O error might
+      not get noticed in time for the receiving side to disable deletions
+      (requires protocol 31).
+
     - Changed the way --progress overwrites its prior output in order to make
       it nearly impossible for the progress to get overwritten by an error.
 
     - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
       its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
 
+    - Fixed some rare bugs in --iconv processing that might cause a multibyte
