-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
-Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
-Changes since version 2.5.5:
+ - When using --delete and a --backup-dir that contains files that are
+ hard-linked to their destination equivalents, rsync now makes sure
+ that removed files really get removed (works around a really weird
+ rename() behavior).
+
+ - Avoid a bogus run-time complaint about a lack of 64-bit integers when
+ the int64 type is defined as an off_t and it actually has 64-bits.
+
+ - Added a configure check for open64() without mkstemp64() so that we
+ can avoid using mkstemp() when such a combination is encountered.
+ This bypasses a problem writing out large temp files on OSes such as
+ AIX and HP-UX.
+
+ - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
+ (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
+
+ - When --dry-run (-n) is used and the destination directory does not
+ exist, rsync now produces a correct report of files that would be
+ sent instead of dying with a chdir() error.
