-rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+rsync changes since last release
 
-  SECURITY FIXES:
-
-    * (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
-
-    * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
-      process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
-      #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
-
-  BUG FIXES:
-
-    * Fixed problem that in many cases caused the error message 
-	unexpected read size of 0 in map_ptr
-      and resulted in the wrong data being copied.
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
-      "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+    * With --progress, when a transfer is complete show the time taken;
+      otherwise show expected time to complete. (Cameron Simpson)
 
-    * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
-      on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+    * Make "make install-strip" works properly, and "make install"
+      accepts a DESTDIR variable for help in building binary packages.
+      (Peter Breitenlohner, Greg Louis)
 
-    * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
-      unexpectedly disconnects.  (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
 
-    * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
-      slash.
+  BUG FIXES:
 
-  ENHANCEMENTS:
+    * Fix situation where failure to fork (e.g. because out of process
+      slots) would cause rsync to kill all processes owned by the
+      current user.  Yes, really!  (Paul Haas, Martin Pool)
 
-    * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3.  (Note that
-      rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
-      against a system library.  See zlib/README.rsync)
+    * Fix test suite on Solaris.  (Jos Backus, Martin Pool)
 
-    * Command to initiate connections is only shown with -vv, rather
-      than -v as in 2.5.2.  Output from plain -v is more similar to
-      what was historically used so as not to break scripts that try
-      to parse the output.
+    * Fix minor memory leak in socket code.  (Dave Dykstra, Martin
+      Pool.)
 
-    * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+    * Fix --whole-file problem that caused it to be the default even
+      for remote connections.  (Martin Pool, Frank Schulz)
 
-    * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
-      and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+    * Work around bug in Mac OS X mkdir(2), which cannot handle
+      trailing slashes.
+      <http://www.opensource.apple.com/bugs/X/BSD%20Kernel/2734739.html>
+      (Martin Pool)
 
-    * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
-      print an error message.  (Colin Walters)
+    * Improved network error handling.  (Greg A. Woods)
