Some superficial tweaks I made while reading through the io.c code.

+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:
+
+    * 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 some exclude/include matching bugs when using wild-cards.
+      For instance, "**/foo" now matches at the root, "CVS/R*" now
+      matches beyond the root, and "foo**bar" is matched against the
+      path, not just the trailing name.  (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * 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)
+
+  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)
