-NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
-Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
-Changes since version 2.5.5:
+ - 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.
+
+ - Fixed a bug that could cause a slow-to-connect rsync daemon to die
+ with an error instead of waiting for the connection to finish.
+
+ - Fixed an ssh interaction that could cause output to be lost when the
+ user chose to combine the output of rsync's stdout and stderr (e.g.
+ using the "2>&1").
