+rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
 
-  ANNOUNCEMENTS
+  BUG FIXES: 
+   
+    * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser by Paul
+      Mackerras.
 
-    * Martin Pool <mbp@samba.org> is now a co-maintainer.
+    * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.  Thankyou
+      to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
+      Hagino.
 
-  NEW FEATURES
+    * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
 
-    * Support for LSB-compliant packaging <http://www.linuxbase.org/>
+    * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
 
-    * Shell wildcards are allowed in "auth users" lines.
+    * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
 
-    * Merged UNC rsync+ patch to support creation of standalone patch
-      sets.  By Bert J. Dempsey and Debra Weiss, updated by Jos
-      Backus.  <http://www.ils.unc.edu/i2dsi/unc_rsync+.html>
+    * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements.  Thanks to Edward
+      Welbourne.
 
-    * IPv6 support based on a patch from KAME.net, on systems
-      including modern versions of Linux, Solaris, and HP-UX.
+    * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop.  Thankyou to Jeff
+      Garzik.
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * Include/exclude cluestick: with -vv, print out whether files are
-      included or excluded and why.
-
-    * Many error messages have more friendly explanations and more
-      details.
-
-    * Manual page improvements plus scanty protocol documentation.
-
-    * When running as --daemon in the background and using a "log
-      file" rsyncd.conf directive, close the log file every time it is
-      open when going to sleep on the socket.  This allows the log
-      file to get cleaned out by another process.
-
-    * Change to using libpopt rather than getopt for processing
-      options.  This makes the code cleaner and the behaviour more
-      consistent across platforms.  popt is included and built if not
-      installed on the platform.
-
-    * More details in --version, including note about whether 64-bit
-      files, symlinks and hardlinks are supported.
-
-    * MD4 code may use less CPU cycles.
-
-    * Use mkstemp on systems where it is secure.  If we use mktemp,
-      explain that we do it in a secure way.
-
-    * --whole-file is the default when source and target are on the
-        local machine.
-
-  BUG FIXES:
-
-    * Fix for various bugs causing rsync to hang.
-
-    * Attempt to fix Large File Summit support on AIX.
-
-    * Attempt to fix error handling lockup bug.
-
-    * Give a non-0 exit code if *any* of the files we have been asked
-      to transfer fail to transfer 
-
-    * For log messages containing ridiculously long strings that might
-      overflow a buffer rsync no longer aborts, but rather prints an
-      ellipsis at the end of the string.  (Patch from Ed Santiago.)
-
-  PLATFORMS:
-
-    * Improved support for UNICOS (tested on Cray T3E and Cray SV1)
-
-    * autoconf2.52 (or later) is now required to rebuild the autoconf
-      scripts.  It is not required to simply build rsync.
-
-  TESTING:
-
-    * The existing test.sh script by Phil Hands has been merged into a
-      test framework that works from both "make check" and the Samba
-      build farm.
+    * --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.
+   
+    * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
+        useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
+        debugger.  Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
 
+    * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
