-* More security problems have been fixed.
+* Some bugs were fixed:
+  - security problems
+  - hard links to symbolic links
 
 * New option --recursion (the default) that is the inverse of --no-recursion.
 
 * New options --anchored, --ignore-case, --wildcards,
   --wildcards-match-slash, and their negations (e.g., --no-anchored).
-  Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these control how exclude
-  patterns are interpreted.  The default interpretation of exclude
-  patterns is now --no-anchored --no-ignore-case --recursion
-  --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
+  Along with --recursion and --no-recursion, these options control how
+  exclude patterns are interpreted.
+
+* The default interpretation of exclude patterns is now --no-anchored
+  --no-ignore-case --recursion --wildcards --wildcards-match-slash.
+  This is a quiet change to the semantics of --exclude.  The previous
+  semantics were a failed attempt at backward compatibility but it
+  became clear that the semantics were puzzling and did not satisfy
+  everybody.  Rather than continue to try to revive that dead horse we
+  thought it better to substitute cleaner semantics, with options so
+  that you can change the behavior more to your liking.
+
+* New message translations for Indonesian and Turkish.
+  The translation for Korean has been withdrawn due to encoding errors.
+  It will be reissued once those are fixed.
