-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
+Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
+Changes since version 2.5.5:
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
+    * The --delete-after option now implies --delete.  (Wayne Davison)
 
-    * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
+    * The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir.  (Michael
       Zimmerman)
 
+    * 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 rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
+      destination field.
+
+    * If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
+      rsync will read from standard input.  (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
+      unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
+      (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
+      rsync run.  (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
+
+    * Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion.  (Jon
+      Middleton)
+
+    * Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
+      and "hosts deny" fields.  (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
+
+    * Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
+      terminations.  (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
+      (Dave Dykstra)
+
   BUG FIXES:
   
     * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3.  (John
       L. Allen, Martin Pool)
 
+    * 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)
+
     * Fix compilation on Tru64.  (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
 
     * Better handling of some client-server errors.  (Martin Pool)
 
-    * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should
-      get a warning but it should not be treated as an error.  (Bill
-      Nottingham)
+    * 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)
+
+    * Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
+      dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
+      processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
+      an error.  (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
+
+    * Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
+      broken.  (Dave Dykstra)
+
+    * Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
+      (Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
 
-      http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489
+    * Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
+      when --relative-paths/-R is set.  (Craig Barratt)
+
+    * Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
 
   INTERNAL:
 
     * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.  (Martin 
       Pool, Nelson Beebe)
 
+    * Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
+
     * More test cases.  (Martin Pool)
 
+    * Some test-case fixes.  (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
+      (Jos Backus)
+
+    * Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
+      means rsync should build on more platforms.  (Paul Green)
