+NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.2:
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    - Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
+      multiple source directories were specified.
+
+    - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
+      over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
+
+    - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
+      the password file (by the client):  the files no longer need to be
+      terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
+
+    - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
+      no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
+      specified.
+
+    - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
+      (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
+
+    - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
+      items are now excluded from being uploaded (if the module is not
+      read-only) as well as downloaded.
+
+    - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
+      the modify time on directories.  This avoids confusing NFS.
+
+    - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
+      batch-processing options.
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
+
+    - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
+      and documented all these options in the man page.
+
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some memory and made
+      things easier to maintain.
+
+    - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
+      rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+
+  BUILD CHANGES:
+
+    - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the various generated
+      files, including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and
+      proto.h.
+
+    - The timestamp of the proto.h file is unaltered by "make proto"
+      if the contents don't change.
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+    - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
