-* Merge IPv6 support
+URGENT ---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+IMPORTANT ------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Cross-test versions
+
+  Part of the regression suite should be making sure that we don't
+  break backwards compatibility: old clients vs new servers and so
+  on.  Ideally we would test the cross product of versions.  
+
+  It might be sufficient to test downloads from well-known public
+  rsync servers running different versions of rsync.  This will give
+  some testing and also be the most common case for having different
+  versions and not being able to upgrade.

+Merge IPv6 support ***
 
 A patch is available at
 
         ftp://ftp.kame.net/pub/kame/misc/rsync-244-v6-20000802.diff.gz
 
-but tridge reckons it needs to be cleaned up before it can be accepted.

+This is now on the track-kameipv6 branch and can be moved across any
+time.  The KAME people say that it should work on machines without
+IPv6 stacks.

+rsyncsh 
+
+   Write a small emulation of interactive ftp as a Pythonn program
+   that calls rsync.  Commands such as "cd", "ls", "ls *.c" etc map
+   fairly directly into rsync commands: it just needs to remember the
+   current host, directory and so on.  We can probably even do
+   completion of remote filenames.
