 NEWS for rsync version 2.5.7
-Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
+Protocol: 27 (changed)
 Changes since version 2.5.6:
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    - Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
+    * Added --files-from, --no-relative, --no-implied-dirs, and --from0.
       Note that --from0 affects the line-ending character for all the
       --*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
 
+    * Length of csum2 is now per-file starting with protocol verison
+      27. (J.W. Schultz)
+
+    * Per-file dynamic block size is now sqrt(file length).
+      The per-file checksum size is determined according
+      to an algorythm provided by Donovan Baarda which
+      reduces the probability of rsync algorithm
+      corrupting data and falling back using the whole md4
+      checksums. (J.W. Schultz, Donovan Baarda)
+
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    - Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
+    * for protocol version >= 27, mdfour_tail() is called when the
+      block size (including checksum_seed) is a multiple of 64.
+      Previously it was not called, giving the wrong MD4 checksum.
+      (Craig Barratt)
+  
+    * for protocol version >= 27, a 64 bit bit counter is used in
+      mdfour.c as required by the RFC.  Previously only a 32 bit bit
+      counter was used, causing incorrect MD4 file checksums for
+      file sizes >= 512MB - 4.  (Craig Barratt)
+
+    * Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versios and
       multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
       (Wayne Davison)
 
-    - Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+    * Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
+
+    * Make --link-dest honor the absence of -p -o and -g.
+
 
   INTERNAL:
 
-    - Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
+    * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
       supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
 
-    - Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
