-rsync 2.5.4 (13 March 2002)

+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug.  (Martin Pool, Andrew
-      Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
- 
+    - If the user specifies a remote-host for both the source and destination,
+      we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
+      hostspec as a filename.
+
   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)
+    - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+      files).
+
+    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
+
+    - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing:  "pre-xfer exec"
+      and "post-xfer exec".  These allow a command to be specified on a
+      per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+      transfer. 
+
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
 
-    * Additional test cases for --compress.  (Martin Pool)
+    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
