-rsync 2.5.2 (26 Jan 2002)
+rsync 2.5.3 (11 March 2002)
+
+  "Happy 26"
 
   SECURITY FIXES:
 
-    * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
-      <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
-      careful about reading integers from the network.
+    * Make sure that supplementary groups are removed from a server
+      process after changing uid and gid. (Ethan Benson) (Debian bug
+      #132272, CVE CAN-2002-0080)
 
   BUG FIXES:
 
-    * Fix possible string mangling in log files.
+    * Fix zlib double-free bug.  (Owen Taylor, Mark J Cox) (CVE
+      CAN-2002-0059)
+
+    * 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.
 
-    * Fix for setting local address of outgoing sockets.
+    * Fixed compilation errors on some systems caused by the use of
+      "unsigned int64" in rsync.h.
 
-    * Better handling of hardlinks and devices on platforms with
-      64-bit dev_t or ino_t.
+    * Fixed problem on systems such as Sunos4 that do not support realloc
+      on a NULL pointer; error was "out of memory in flist_expand".
 
-    * Name resolution on machines supporting IPv6 is improved.
+    * Fix for rsync server processes hanging around after the client
+      unexpectedly disconnects.  (Colin Walters) (Debian bug #128632)
 
-    * Fix for device nodes.  (dann frazier)   (Debian #129135)
+    * Cope with BSD systems on which mkdir() will not accept a trailing
+      slash.
 
   ENHANCEMENTS:
 
-    * With -v, rsync now shows the command used to initiate an ssh/rsh
-      connection.
+    * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.2 to zlib 1.1.3.  (Note that
+      rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can not just link
+      against a system library.  See zlib/README.rsync)
+
+    * 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.
 
-    * --statistics now shows memory heap usage on platforms that
-        support mallinfo().
+    * Added --no-whole-file and --no-blocking-io options (Dave Dykstra)
 
-    * "The Ted T'so school of program optimization": make progress
-      visible and people will think it's faster.  (With --progress,
-      rsync will show you how many files it has seen as it builds the
-      file_list, giving some indication that it has not hung.)
+    * Made the --write-batch and --read-batch options actually work
+      and added documentation in the man page (Jos Backus)
 
-    * Improvements to batch mode support.  This is still experimental
-      but testing would be welcome.   (Jos Backus)
- 
-    * New --ignore-existing option, patch previously distributed with
-      Vipul's Razor.  (Debian #124286)
+    * If the daemon is unable to fork a child to accept a connection,
+      print an error message.  (Colin Walters)
