+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. (Note: both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
+ work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
+ don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
+
+ - 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) in addition to the old download exclusion.
+
+ - 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 the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
+
+ - 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 per-exclude memory
+ and made the code 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.
