+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.

+NEWS for rsync 2.6.2 (30 Apr 2004)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.1:
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ - Fixed a major bug in the sorting of the filenames when --relative
+ is used for some sources (just sources such as "/" and "/*" were
+ affected). This fix ensures that we ask for the right file-list
+ item when requesting changes from the sender.
+
+ - Rsync now checks the return value of the close() function to
+ better report disk-full problems on an NFS file system.
+
+ - Restored the old daemon-server behavior of logging error messages
+ rather than returning them to the user. (A better long-term fix
+ will be sought in the future.)
+
+ - An obscure uninitialized-variable bug was fixed in the uid/gid
+ code. (This bug probably had no ill effects.)
+
+ BUILD CHANGES:
+
+ - Got rid of the configure check for sys/sysctl.h (it wasn't used
+ and was causing a problem on some systems). Also improved the
+ broken-largefile-locking test to try to avoid failure due to an
+ NFS build-dir.
+
+ - Fixed a compile problem on systems that don't define
+ AI_NUMERICHOST.
+
+ - Fixed a compile problem in the popt source for compilers that
+ don't support __attribute__.
+
+ DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+ - Improved the testsuite's "merge" test to work on OSF1.
+
+ - Two new diffs were added to the patches dir.
