-rsync 2.5.1 (2002-01-03)
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
 
-  BUG FIXES: 
-   
-    * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser.  (Paul
-      Mackerras)
+  SECURITY FIXES:
 
-    * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.
-      (YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
-      Hagino)
+    - 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.
 
-    * Various fixes for IPv6 support.  (Dave Dykstra)
+  BUG FIXES:
 
-    * rsync.1 typo fix.  (Matt Kraai)
+    - 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).
 
-    * Test suite typo fixes.  (Tom Schmidt)
+    - 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).
 
-    * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements.  (Edward
-      Welbourne)
+    - 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.
 
-    * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop.  (Jeff Garzik)
+    - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
+      time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
+
+    - 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).
+
+    - 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:
 
-    * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
-        multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion.  (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.  (Max Bowsher, Jos Backus)
+    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
+
+    - 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.
+
+    - Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix
+      mentioned above).
+
+  BUILD CHANGES:
+
+    - 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).
+
+    - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+      -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
 
-    * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
