+NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.3:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
+ was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
+ file).
+
+ - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
+ that already exists in the --backup-dir.
+
+ - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
+ setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
+ mkstemp().
+
+ - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
+ FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
+ necessary.
+
+ - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
+ so that they can't be mixed together. This makes it impossible for a
+ user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
+ could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
+
+ - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
+ file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
+ partial file.
+
+ BUILD CHANGES:
+
+ - Support an OS that uses mkdev() instead of makedev().

NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (30 Sep 2004)
Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
Changes since 2.6.2:
- Added the ability to parse a literal IPv6 address in an "rsync:" URL
(e.g. rsync://[2001:638:500:101::21]:873/module/dir).
+ - The daemon's wildcard expanding code can now handle more than 1000
+ filenames (it's now limited by memory instead of having a hard-wired
+ limit).
+
INTERNAL:
- Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
