+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Restore the list-clearing behavior of "!" in a .cvsignore file (2.6.3
-      was only treating it as a special token in an rsync include/exclude
-      file).
+    - 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
+      rsyncd.conf file.
 
-    - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
-      that already exists in the --backup-dir.
+    - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+      permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
 
-    - An OS that has a binary mode for its files (such as cygwin0 needed
-      setmode(fd, O_BINARY) called on the temp-file we opened with
-      mkstemp().  (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
+    - 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 a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
-      the sender, and the file-list is large.
+    - Fixed the accidental disabling of --backup during the --delete-after
+      processing.
 
-    - We now check if the OS doesn't support using mknod() for creating
-      FIFOs and sockets, and compile-in using mkfifo() and socket() when
-      necessary.
+    - Restored the ability to use the --address option in client mode (in
+      addition to its use in daemon mode).
 
-    - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
+    - 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.
 
-    - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure.
+    - When --existing skips a directory with extra verbosity, don't refer
+      to it as a "file".
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
-      use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
+    - 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.
 
-    - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
+    - 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 "\\".
 
-    - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
-      so that they can't be mixed together.  This makes it impossible for a
-      user to start a daemon that had improper default option values that
-      could cause problems (a hang or an exit) when a client connects.
+    - 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.)
 
-    - The --bwlimit option may now be used in combination with --daemon
-      to specify a default value for the daemon side and also a value
-      that cannot be exceeded by a user-specified --bwlimit option.
+    - 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).
 
-    - In _exit_cleanup(): when we are exiting with a partially-received
-      file, we now flush any data in the write-cache before closing the
-      partial file.
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
 
   BUILD CHANGES:
 
-    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
+    - 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.
