-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
+
+    - If a device-file/special-file changes permissions, rsync now updates the
+      permissions without recreating the file.
+
+    - 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.
+
+    - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+      permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+      the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
+
+    - Reject the combination of --inplace and --sparse since the sparse-output
+      algorithm doesn't work when overwriting existing data.
+
+    - Fixed the directory name in the error that is output when pop_dir()
+      fails.
+
+    - Really fixed the parsing of a "!" entry in .cvsignore files this time.
+
+    - Several diffs in the patches dir now use the proper --enable-FOO
+      configure option instead of --with-FOO to turn on the inclusion of
+      the newly patched feature.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * "make install-strip" works.  (Greg Louis)
+    - Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+      files).
 
-    * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the
-      time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron
-      Simpson)
+    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
 
-    * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
-      accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
-      (Peter Breitenlohner)
+    - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing:  "pre-xfer exec"
+      and "post-xfer exec".  These allow a command to be specified on a
+      per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+      transfer. 
 
+    - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+      the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+      should start.  For example, if you specify a source path of
+      rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
+      replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+      dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
 
-  BUG FIXES:
+    - Added some new --no-FOO options that make it easier to override
+      unwanted implied or default options.  For example, "-a --no-o" (aka
+      "--archive --no-owner") can be used to turn off the preservation of
+      file ownership that is implied by -a.
+
+    - Allow the --temp-dir option to be specified when starting a daemon,
+      which sets the default temporary directory for incoming files.
+
+    - Some minor documentation improvements.
 
-    * 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)
+    - Updated some diffs in the patches dir.
 
-    * Fix test suite on Solaris.  (Jos Backus)
+  INTERNAL:
 
-    * Fix minor memory leak in socket code.  (Dave Dykstra, Martin
-      Pool.)
+    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
 
-    * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
-      for remote connections.  (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
+    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
