Change in reporting for --dry-run in 2.6.x

I just noticed that there is an extra blank line in the output generated 
by rsync when the --dry-run (-n) flag is used.  This seems to have 
started with 2.6.0.  Is this desired?  The reason why I'm asking is 
because I use scripts that parse the output from rsync and little 
modifications in verbosity can make or break things easily.

Thanks,
