+rsync 2.5.5 "Snowy River" (2 April 2002)
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
+ otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
+
+ * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+ accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+ (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
+
+ * If configured with --enable-maintainer-mode, then on receipt of
+ a fatal signal rsync will try to open an xterm running gdb,
+ similarly to Samba's "panic action" or GNOME's bug-buddy.
+ (Martin Pool)
+
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
+ slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
+ current user. Yes, really! (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fix test suite on Solaris. (Jos Backus, Martin Pool)
+
+ * Fix minor memory leak in socket code. (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+ Pool.)
+
+ * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+ for remote connections. (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+
+ * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
+ trailing slashes.
+ <http://www.opensource.apple.com/bugs/X/BSD%20Kernel/2734739.html>
+ (Martin Pool)
+
+ * Improved network error handling. (Greg A. Woods)

+rsync 2.5.4 (13 March 2002)
+
+ "Imitation lizard skin"
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug. (Martin Pool, Andrew
+ Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4. (Jos Backus)
+ (Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can
+ not just link against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
+
+ * Additional test cases for --compress. (Martin Pool)
+
+\f
+rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002)
+
+ "Happy 26"
+
+ SECURITY FIXES:
+
+ * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+ process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
+ #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix zlib double-free bug. (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE
+ CAN-2002-0059)
+
+ * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message
+ unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
+ and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+
+ * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+ "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+
+ * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+ on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+
+ * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
+ unexpectedly disconnects. (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
+
+ * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
+ slash.
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3. (Note that
+ rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
+ against a system library. See zlib/README.rsync)
+
+ * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
+ than -v as in 2.5.2. Output from plain -v is more similar to
+ what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
+ to parse the output.
+
+ * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+
+ * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+ and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+
+ * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+ print an error message. (Colin Walters)
+
+rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002)
+
+ 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)
+
+rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03)
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser. (Paul
+ Mackerras)
+
+ * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
+ (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
+ Hagino)
+
+ * Various fixes for IPv6 support. (Dave Dykstra)
+
+ * rsync.1 typo fix. (Matt Kraai)
+
+ * Test suite typo fixes. (Tom Schmidt)
+
+ * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements. (Edward
+ Welbourne)
+
+ * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop. (Jeff Garzik)
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
+ multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion. (Rik
+ Faith)
+
+ * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
+ useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
+ debugger. (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
+
+ * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
