-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS:
+  SECURITY FIXES:
 
-    * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+    - Applied a zlib fix to block a buffer overflow in the decompression
+      code.  Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse
+      the --compress option.
 
-    * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
-      Zimmerman)
+  BUG FIXES:
 
-    * Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
-      specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
-      server-daemon.  This allows someone to use daemon features, such
-      as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
+    - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
+      This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
+      (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
+      combined with --link-dest).
 
-    * The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
-      destination field.
+    - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+      without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as though
+      it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
+      file); with -i it would output all dots for the unchanged attributes of
+      a hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
+      totally unchanged items).
 
-    * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
-      rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
+    - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
+      item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
 
-    * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
-      unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
-      (J.W. Schultz)
+    - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
+      time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
 
-  BUG FIXES:
-  
-    * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3.  (John
-      L. Allen, Martin Pool)
+    - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
+      unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
+      directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
+      ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
+      destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
 
-    * Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
-      in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand.  This prevents
-      timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
+    - 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:
 
-    * Fix compilation on Tru64.  (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
 
-    * Better handling of some client-server errors.  (Martin Pool)
+    - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
+      that take them (instead of rejecting any such options).  The script was
+      also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
+      of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
 
-    * Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
-      contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
-      list) and using --delete.  (Wayne Davison)
+    - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix
+      mentioned above).
 
-  INTERNAL:
+  BUILD CHANGES:
 
-    * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.  (Martin 
-      Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+    - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
+      NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
+      find in the /etc/group file).
 
-    * More test cases.  (Martin Pool)
+    - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+      -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
 
-    * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
-      (Jos Backus)
