+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (28 Jul 2005)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
+
+  SECURITY FIXES:
+
+    - The zlib code was upgraded to version 1.2.3 in order to make it more
+      secure.  While the widely-publicized security problem in zlib 1.2.2 did
+      not affect rsync, another security problem surfaced that affects rsync's
+      zlib 1.1.4.
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    - The setting of flist->high in clean_flist() was wrong for an empty list.
+      This could cause flist_find() to crash in certain rare circumstances
+      (e.g. if just the right directory setup was around when --fuzzy was
+      combined with --link-dest).
+
+    - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+      (1) Without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as
+      though it had been changed; it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for
+      the file. (2) With -i it would output all dots for the unchanged
+      attributes of a hard-link; it now changes those dots to spaces, as is
+      done for other totally unchanged items.
+
+    - When backing up a changed symlink or device, get rid of any old backup
+      item so that we don't get an "already exists" error.
+
+    - A couple places that were comparing a local and a remote modification-
+      time were not honoring the --modify-window option.
+
+    - Fixed a bug where the 'p' (permissions) itemized-changes flag might get
+      set too often (if some non-significant mode bits differed).
+
+    - Fixed a really old, minor bug that could cause rsync to warn about being
+      unable to mkdir() a path that ends in "/." because it just created the
+      directory (required --relative, --no-implied-dirs, a source path that
+      ended in either a trailing slash or a trailing "/.", and a non-existing
+      destination dir to tickle the bug in a recent version).
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
+
+    - The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
+      that take args (instead of rejecting any such options).  The script was
+      also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
+      of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
+
+    - Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a
+      normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer.
+
+    - Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or
+      improved.
+
+  BUILD CHANGES:
+
+    - Made configure define NOBODY_USER (currently hard-wired to "nobody") and
+      NOBODY_GROUP (set to either "nobody" or "nogroup" depending on what we
+      find in the /etc/group file).
+
+    - Added a test to the test suite, itemized.test, that tests the output of
+      -i (log-format w/%i) and some double-verbose messages.
