-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+rsync changes since last release
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
-        multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion.  Based
-        on a patch by Rik Faith.
+    * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
+      otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
 
-  BUG FIXES: 
-   
-    * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.  Thankyou
-      to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
-      Hagino.
+    * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+      accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+      (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
 
-    * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
+    * 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)
 
-    * Fix for segfault in rsyncd.conf parser by Paul Mackerras.
 
-    * Test suite typo fixes Tom Schmidt.
+  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)
