+rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
+
+  SECURITY FIXES:
+
+    * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+      process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
+      #132272)
+
+  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.
+
+    * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+      "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
+
+    * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+      on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
+
+    * 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.
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    * 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.
+
+    * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
+
+    * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+      and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
+
+    * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+      print an error message.  (Colin Walters)
