+NEWS for rsync 2.6.7 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.6:
 
   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).
+    - Made hard-links work with symlinks and devices again.
 
-    - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
-      that already exists in the --backup-dir.
+    - If a device changed permissions, rsync no longer recreates the device
+      instead of just updating the permissions.
 
-    - 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().
+    - 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.
 
-    - 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.
+    - When --inplace creates a new destination file, rsync now creates it with
+      permissions 0600 instead of 0000 -- this makes restarting possible when
+      the transfer gets interrupted in the middle of sending a new file.
 
   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 --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
+      that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
+      files).
 
-    - Added the --max-size option (promoted from the patches dir).
+    - If lutimes() and/or lchmod() are around, use them to allow the
+      preservation of attributes on symlinks.
 
-    - 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.
+    - Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing:  "pre-xfer exec"
+      and "post-xfer exec".  These allow a command to be specified on a
+      per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
+      transfer. 
 
-    - 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.
+    - When using the --relative option, you can now insert a dot dir in
+      the source path to indicate where the replication of the source dirs
+      should start.  For example, if you specify a source path of
+      rsync://host/module/foo/bar/./baz/dir with -R, rsync would only
+      replicate the "baz/dir" part of the source path (note: a trailing
+      dot dir is unaffected unless it also has a trailing slash).
 
-    - 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.
+  INTERNAL:
 
-  BUILD CHANGES:
+    - Some buffer sizes were expanded a bit, particularly on systems where
+      MAXPATHLEN is overly small (e.g. cygwin).
 
-    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
+    - If io_printf() tries to format more data than fits in the buffer, exit
+      with an error instead of transmitting a truncated buffer.
