+NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7
+Protocol: 27 (changed)
+Changes since version 2.5.6:
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
+ Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
+ --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
+ 27. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
+ The per-file checksum size is determined according
+ to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
+ reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
+ corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
+ checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
+
+ * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
+ unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fixed several exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+ This has a several user-visible effects, all of which make the
+ matching more consistent and intuitive. This should hopefully not
+ cause anyone problems since it makes the matching work more like
+ what people are expecting. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ - A pattern with a "**" no longer causes a "*" to match slashes.
+ For example, with "/*/foo/**", "foo" must be 2 levels deep.
+
+ - "**/foo" now matches at the base of the transfer (i.e. /foo).
+
+ - An non-anchored wildcard term floats to match beyond the base of
+ the transfer. E.g. "CVS/R*" matches at the end of the path,
+ just like the non-wildcard term "CVS/Root" does.
+
+ - Including a "**" in the match term causes it to be matched
+ against the entire path, not just the name portion, even if
+ there aren't any interior slashes in the term. E.g. "foo**bar"
+ would exclude "/path/foo-bar" (just like before) as well as
+ "/foo-path/baz-bar" (for instance).
+
+ * The exclude list specified in the daemon's config file is now
+ properly applied to the pulled items no matter how deep the
+ user's file args are in the source tree. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * For protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
+ block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
+ Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
+ (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * For protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
+ mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
+ counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
+ file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
+ multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+
+ * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p, -o, and -g.
+
+ * Made rsync treat a trailing slash in the destination in a more
+ consistent manner.
+
+ * Fixed file I/O error detection. (John Van Essen)
+
+ * Fixed a compression (-z) bug when syncing a mostly-matching file
+ that contains already-compressed data. (Yasuoka Masahiko and
+ Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Fixed a bug in the --backup code that could cause deleted files
+ to not get backed up.
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
+ supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new
+ defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison)
