in the new (read|write)_sum_head functions. A added bonus
is that write_sum_head replaces the send_null_sums function.
The Adleresque checksum1 is in no way affected.
The varsumlen patch builds on that groundwork by

blocks at which it increments and continues incrementing
each time the block count quadruples. This builds on the
dynamic block size code (which is...
