-rsync 2.5.1 (sometime in 2001?)
+rsync 2.5.3 (not released yet)
 
-  BUG FIXES: 
-   
-    * Fix for segfault in --daemon mode configuration parser by Paul
-      Mackerras.
+  SECURITY FIXES:
 
-    * Correct string<->address parsing for both IPv4 and 6.  Thankyou
-      to YOSHIFUJI Hideaki, SUMIKAWA Munechika and Jun-ichiro "itojun"
-      Hagino.
+    * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+      process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson)
 
-    * Various fixes for IPv6 support by Dave Dykstra.
+  BUG FIXES:
 
-    * rsync.1 typo fix by Matt Kraai.
+    * 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.
 
-    * Test suite typo fixes by Tom Schmidt.
+    * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+      "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
 
-    * rsync.1 grammar and clarity improvements.  Thanks to Edward
-      Welbourne.
-
-    * Correction to ./configure tests for inet_ntop.  Thankyou to Jeff
-      Garzik.
+    * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+      on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * --progress and -P now show estimated data transfer rate (in a
-        multiple of bytes/s) and estimated time to completion.  Based
-        on a patch by Rik Faith.
-   
-    * --no-detach option, required to run as a W32 service and also
-        useful when running on Unix under daemontools, AIX's SRC, or a
-        debugger.  Thanks to Max Bowsher and Jos Backus.
+    * 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)
 
-    * Clearer error messages for some conditions.
+    * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+	and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
