+NEWS for rsync 3.0.7 (31 Dec 2009)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.6:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Fixed a bogus free when using --xattrs with --backup.
+
+ - Avoid an error when --dry-run was trying to stat a prior hard-link file
+ that hasn't really been created.
+
+ - Fixed a problem with --compress (-z) where the receiving side could
+ return the error "inflate (token) returned -5".
+
+ - Fixed a bug where --delete-during could delete in a directory before it
+ noticed that the sending side sent an I/O error for that directory (both
+ sides of the transfer must be at least 3.0.7).
+
+ - Improved --skip-compress's error handling of bad character-sets and got
+ rid of a lingering debug fprintf().
+
+ - Fixed the daemon's conveyance of io_error value from the sender.
+
+ - An rsync daemon use seteuid() (when available) if it used setuid().
+
+ - Get the permissions right on a --fake-super transferred directory that
+ needs more owner permissions to emulate root behavior.
+
+ - An absolute-path filter rule (i.e. with a '/' modifier) no longer loses
+ its modifier when sending the filter rules to the remote rsync.
+
+ - Improved the "--delete does not work without -r or -d" message.
+
+ - Improved rsync's handling of --timeout to avoid a weird timeout case
+ where the sender could timeout even though it has recently written data
+ to the socket (but hasn't read data recently, due to the writing).
+
+ - Some misc manpage improvements.
+
+ - Fixed the chmod-temp-dir testsuite on a system without /var/tmp.
+
+ - Make sure that a timeout specified in the daemon's config is used as a
+ maximum timeout value when the user also specifies a timeout.
+
+ - Improved the error-exit reporting when rsync gets an error trying to
+ cleanup after an error: the initial error is reported.
+
+ - Improved configure's detection of IPv6 for solaris and cygwin.
+
+ - The AIX sysacls routines will now return ENOSYS if ENOTSUP is missing.
+
+ - Made our (only used if missing) getaddrinfo() routine use inet_pton()
+ (which we also provide) instead of inet_aton().
+
+ - The exit-related debug messages now mention the program's role so it is
+ clear who output what message.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - Got rid of type-punned compiler warnings output by newer gcc versions.
+
+ - The Makefile now ensures that proto.h will be rebuilt if config.h changes.
+
+ - The testsuite no longer uses "id -u", so it works better on solaris.

+NEWS for rsync 3.0.6 (8 May 2009)
+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.5:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Fixed a --read-batch hang when rsync is reading a batch file that was
+ created from an incremental-recursion transfer.
+
+ - Fixed the daemon's socket code to handle the simultaneous arrival of
+ multiple connections.
+
+ - Fix --safe-links/--copy-unsafe-links to properly handle symlinks that
+ have consecutive slashes in the value.
+
+ - Fixed the parsing of an [IPv6_LITERAL_ADDR] when a USER@ is prefixed.
+
+ - The sender now skips a (bogus) symlink that has a 0-length value, which
+ avoids a transfer error in the receiver.
+
+ - Fixed a case where the sender could die with a tag-0 error if there was
+ an I/O during the sending of the file list.
+
+ - Fixed the rrsync script to avoid a server-side problem when -e is at the
+ start of the short options.
+
+ - Fixed a problem where a vanished directory could turn into an exit code
+ 23 instead of the proper exit code 24.
+
+ - Fixed the --iconv conversion of symlinks when doing a local copy.
+
+ - Fixed a problem where --one-file-system was not stopping deletions on the
+ receiving side when a mount-point directory did not match a directory in
+ the transfer.
+
+ - Fixed the dropping of an ACL mask when no named ACL values were present.
+
+ - Fixed an ACL/xattr corruption issue where the --backup option could cause
+ rsync to associate the wrong ACL/xattr information with received files.
+
+ - Fixed the use of --xattrs with --only-write-batch.
+
+ - Fixed the use of --dry-run with --read-batch.
+
+ - Fixed configure's erroneous use of target.
+
+ - Fixed configure's --disable-debug option.
+
+ - Fixed a run-time issue for systems that can't find iconv_open() by adding
+ the --disable-iconv-open configure option.
+
+ - Complain and die if the user tries to combine --remove-source-files (or
+ the deprecated --remove-sent-files) with --read-batch.
+
+ - Fixed an failure transferring special files from Solaris to Linux.
