+ * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
+ The per-file checksum size is determined according
+ to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
+ reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
+ corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
+ checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
+
+ * The --stats option no longer includes the (debug) malloc summary
+ unless the verbose option was specified at least twice.
+
+ BUG FIXES:
+
+ * for protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
+ block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
+ Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
+ (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * for protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
+ mdfour.c as required by the RFC. Previously only a 32 bit bit
+ counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
+ file sizes >= 512MB - 4. (Craig Barratt)
+
+ * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versios and
+ multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
+ (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+
+ * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p -o and -g.
+
+
+ INTERNAL:
+
+ * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
+ supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)

+NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
+Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
+Changes since version 2.5.5:
+
+ ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+ * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+
+ * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+ Zimmerman)
+
+ * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
+ specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
+ server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
+ as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+
+ * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+ destination field.
+
+ * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+ rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+ unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+ (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
+ rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
+
+ * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
+ Middleton)
+
+ * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
+ and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
+
+ * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
+ terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+ * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
+ (Dave Dykstra)
