     - In --dry-run mode, the last line of the verbose summary text is output
       with a "(DRY RUN)" suffix to help remind you that no updates were made.
 
+    - A writable rsync daemon that disables "use chroot" now defaults to a
+      symlink-munging behavior designed to make symlinks safer while also
+      allowing absolute symlinks to be stored and retrieved.  This also has
+      the effect of making symlinks unusable while they're in the daemon's
+      hierarchy.  See the daemon option "munge symlinks" for full details.
