+rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002)
 
-  BUG FIXES: 
-   
-    * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai <kraai@debian.org>  
+  SECURITY FIXES:
 
+    * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
+      <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
+      careful about reading integers from the network.
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+
+    * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+
+    * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
+      64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+
+    * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+
+    * Fix for device nodes.  (dann frazier)   (Debian #129135)
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
+      connection.
+
+    * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
+        support mallinfo().
+
+    * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
+      visible and people will think it's faster.  (With --progress,
+      rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
+      file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+
+    * Improvements to batch mode support.  This is still experimental
+      but testing would be welcome.   (Jos Backus)
+ 
+    * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
+      Vipul's Razor.  (Debian #124286)
