+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
+
+ OUTPUT CHANGES:
+
+ - Non-printable chars in filenames are now output using backslash-
+ escaped characters rather than '?'s. Any non-printable character is
+ output using 3 digits of octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and a backslash
+ is now output as "\\". Rsync also uses your locale setting, which
+ can make it treat fewer high-bit characters as non-printable.
+
+ - If rsync received an empty file list when pulling files, it would
+ output a "nothing to do" message and exit with a 0 (success) exit
+ status, even if the remote rsync returned an error (it did not do
+ this under the same conditions when pushing files). This was changed
+ to make the pulling behavior the same as the pushing behavior: we
+ now do the normal end-of-run outputting (depending on options) and
+ exit with the appropriate exit status.
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
+ not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
+ rsyncd.conf file.
+
+ - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified
+ that might have caused an infinite loop or perhaps a crash.
+
+ - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+ permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
+
+ - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
+ basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+ is in effect.
+
+ - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
+ processing.
+
+ - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
+ addition to its use in daemon mode).
+
+ - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
+ processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
+ newline.
+
+ - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, refer to it
+ as a "directory", not a "file".
+
+ - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
+ generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
+ the file by the destination filename.
+
+ - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
+ generator hasn't created a needed destination directory yet.
+
+ - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
+ to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
+ of the cluster.
+
+ - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
+ no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the
+ receiving side.
+
+ - Fixed a compatibility problem when using --cvs-ignore (-C) and
+ sending files to an older rsync without using --delete.
+
+ - Make sure that a "- !" or "+ !" include/exclude pattern does not
+ trigger the list-clearing action that is reserved for "!".
+
+ - Avoid a timeout in the generator when the sender/receiver aren't
+ handling the generator's checksum output quickly enough.
+
+ - Fixed the ommission of some directories in the delete processing when
+ --relative (-R) was combined with a source path that had a trailing
+ slash.
+
+ - Make sure that --max-size doesn't affect a device or a symlink.
+
+ - Make sure that a system with a really small MAXPATHLEN does not cause
+ the buffers in readfd_unbuffered() to be too small to receive normal
+ messages. (This mainly affected Cygwin.)
+
+ - If a source filename ends with "..", treat it as if "../" had been
+ specified (so that we don't copy files to the parent dir of the
+ destination).
+
+ - If --delete is combined with a file-listing rsync command (i.e. no
+ transfer is happening), avoid outputting a warning that we couldn't
+ delete anything.
+
+ - If --stats is specified with --delete-after, ensure that all the
+ "deleting" messages are output before the statistics.
+
+ - Improved one "if" in the deletion code that was only checking errno
+ for ENOTEMPTY when it should have also been checking for EEXIST.
