-rsync 2.5.2 (???)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
 
-  SECURITY FIXES:
+  BUG FIXES:
 
-    * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
-      <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
-      careful about reading integers from the network.
+    - 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.
 
-  BUG FIXES:
+    - Fixed a bug in the transfer of a single file when -H is specified
+      that might have caused an infininte loop or perhaps a crash.
+
+    - 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".
+
+    - When transferring a single file to a different-named file, any
+      generator messages that are source-file related no longer refer to
+      the file by the destination filename.
 
-    * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+    - Fixed a bug where hard-linking a group of files might fail if the
+      generator hasn't created the destination directory yet.
 
-    * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+    - Fixed a bug where a hard-linked group of files that is newly-linked
+      to a file in a --link-dest dir doesn't link the files from the rest
+      of the cluster.
 
-    * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
-      64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+    - When deleting files with the --one-file-system (-x) option set, rsync
+      no longer tries to remove files from inside a mount-point on the
+      receiving side.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
-        support mallinfo().
+    - 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().
 
-    * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
-      visible and people will think it's faster.  (With --progress,
-      rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
-      file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+    - Configure now disables the use of mkstemp() under HP-UX (since they
+      refuse to fix its broken handling of large files).
 
-    * Improvements to batch mode support.  This is still experimental
-      but testing would be welcome.   (Jos Backus)
+    - 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.
