-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.4 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.3:
+
+  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).
+
+    - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
+      that already exists in the --backup-dir.
+
+    - 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.)
+
+    - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
+      the sender, and the file-list is large.
+
+    - 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.
+
+    - Fixed an off-by-one error in the handling of --max-delete=N.
+
+    - One fork() call needed to check for and handle a failure.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * "make install-strip" works.  (Greg Louis)
+    - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
+      use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
 
-    * With --progress, if we've finished transferring a file, show the
-      time taken; otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron
-      Simpson)
+    - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
 
-  BUG FIXES:
+    - 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.
+
+    - 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.
+
+    - 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.
 
-    * Fix test suite on Solaris.  (Jos Backus)
+  BUILD CHANGES:
 
-    * Fix minor memory leak in socket code.  (Dave Dykstra, Martin
-      Pool.)
+    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
