+NEWS for rsync 2.6.5 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.4:
 
   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).
+    - 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
+      config 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.
+    - Fixed a case where the generator might try to tweak the write
+      permissions of a read-only directory in list-only mode.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Rsync now supports popt's option aliases, which means that you can
-      use /etc/popt and/or ~/.popt to create your own option aliases.
-
-    - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
-
-    - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file (promoted from the
-      patches dir).
-
-    - Added the --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
-      that it copies identical files.
-
-    - Added support for multiple --*-dest options (promoted from the
-      patches dir).
-
-    - 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.
+    - 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 "\\".
 
-    - 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.
+  INTERNAL:
 
-    - 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.
+    - Rsync now calls setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "").
 
   BUILD CHANGES:
 
-    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
+    - You can use --disable-locale to turn off any use of setlocale().
