+rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002)
+
+ "Happy 26"
+
+ SECURITY FIXES:
+
+ * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+ process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
+ #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE
+ CAN-2002-0059)
+
+ * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
+ unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
+ and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+
+ * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+ "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+
+ * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+ on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+
+ * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
+ unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+
+ * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
+ slash.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that
+ rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
+ against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
+
+ * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
+ than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
+ what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
+ to parse the output.
+
+ * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+
+ * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+ and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+
+ * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+ print an error message. (Colin Walters)
