 Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
 Changes since 2.6.5:
 
+  SECURITY FIXES:
+
+    - Applied a zlib fix to block a buffer overflow in the decompression
+      code.  Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse
+      the --compress option.
+
   BUG FIXES:
 
     - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
       This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
       (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
-      combined with --list-dest).
+      combined with --link-dest).
 
     - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
-      without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
+      without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
       it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
       file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
       a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
       totally unchanged items).
 
     - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
-      item so that we don't get an already-exists error.
+      item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
+
+    - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
+      time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
+
+    - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
+      unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
+      directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
+      ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
+      destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
+
+    - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+      we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+      hostspec as a filename.

       also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
