+NEWS for rsync 2.6.6 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 29 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.5:
 
   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).
-
-    - Avoid a mkdir warning when removing a directory in the destination
-      that already exists in the --backup-dir.
-
-    - 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().  (Fix picked up from the cygwin package.)
-
-    - Fixed a potential hang when verbosity is high, the client side is
-      the sender, and the file-list is large.
-
-    - 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 place in the code wasn't checking if fork() failed.
-
-    - The "ignore nonreadable" daemon parameter no longer affects symlinks
-      that are being copied, even if they point nowhere.
-
-    - If the OS does not have lchown() and its chown() tries to set the
-      referent of a symlink (as it should), we no longer try to set the
-      user and group of a symlink.
+    - The outputting of hard-linked files when verbosity was > 1 was not right:
+      without -i it would output the name of each hard-linked file as thought
+      it had been changed (it now outputs a "is hard linked" message for the
+      file); with -i it would could output all trailing dots for an unchanged
+      hard-link (it now changes those dots to spaces, as is done for other
+      unchanged files).
 
   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 --copy-dest option, which works like --link-dest except
-      that it includes copies of identical files.
-
-    - Added support for specifying multiple --compare-dest, --copy-dest, or
-      --link-dest options, but only of a single type. (Promoted from the
-      patches dir and enhanced.)
-
-    - Added the --max-size option. (Promoted from the patches dir.)
-
-    - The daemon-mode options were separated from the normal rsync options
-      so that they can't be mixed together.  This makes it impossible to
-      start a daemon that had improper default option values that could
-      cause problems (such as a hang or an abort) when a client connects.
-
-    - 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.
-
-    - Added the "port" parameter to the rsyncd.conf file. (Promoted from
-      the patches dir.)
-
-    - 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.
+    - Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
+      per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
 
   BUILD CHANGES:
 
-    - Handle an operating system that use mkdev() in place of makedev().
+    - 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.
