@@ -6,21 +6,66 @@ Changes since 2.6.4:
 
     - A crash bug was fixed when a daemon had its "path" set to "/", did
       not have chroot enabled, and used some anchored excludes in the
-      config file.
+      rsyncd.conf file.
 
     - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
       permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
 
+    - If --compare-dest or --link-dest uses a locally-copied file as the
+      basis for an updated version, log this better when --verbose or -i
+      is in effect.
+
+    - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
+      processing.
+
+    - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
+      addition to its use in daemon mode).
+
+    - Make sure that some temporary progress information from the delete
+      processing does not get left on the screen when it is followed by a
+      newline.
+
+    - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
+      to it as a "file".
+
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
+    - Added the --only-write-batch=FILE option that may be used (instead
+      of --write-batch=FILE) to create a batch file without doing any
+      actual updating of the destination.  This allows you to divert all
+      the file-updating data away from a slow data link (as long as you
+      are pushing the data to the remote server when creating the batch).
+
     - Changed the outputting of "safe" filenames to use backslash-escaped
       characters rather than '?'s.  Any non-printable character is output
       using octal (e.g. "\n" -> "\012"), and backslash is output as "\\".
 
+    - Improved the auth-errors that are logged by the daemon to include
+      some information on why the authorization failed (wrong user,
+      password mismatch, etc.).  (The client-visible message is unchanged.)
+
+    - Improved the client's handling of an "@ERROR" from a daemon so that
+      it does not complain about an unexpectedly closed socket (since we
+      really did expect the socket to close).
+
+    - If the daemon can't open the log-file specified in rsyncd.conf, fall
+      back to using syslog.  This is better than a (typically) totally
+      silent failure (since a daemon is not usually run with --no-detach).
+
   INTERNAL:
 
     - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
 
   BUILD CHANGES:
 
+    - Fixed a bug in the SUPPORT{,_HARD}_LINKS defines which prevented
+      rsync from being built without symlink or hard-link support.
+
     - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
+
+    - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
+      refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
+
+    - Configure now explicitly checks for the lseek64() function so that
+      the code can use HAVE_LSEEK64 instead of inferring lseek64()'s
+      presence based on the presence of the off64_t type.
