-rsync changes since last release
+NEWS for rsync 2.6.3 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 28 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.2:
 
   BUG FIXES:
-  
-    * Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3.  (John
-      L. Allen, Martin Pool)
 
-    * Fix compilation on Tru64.  (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
+    - Fixed a crash bug that might appear when --delete was used and
+      multiple source directories were specified.
 
-    * Better handling of some client-server errors.  (Martin Pool)
+    - The --backup code no longer attempts to create some directories
+      over and over again (generating warnings along the way).
 
-    * When -e is specified along with an rsyncd url, the client should
-      get a warning but it should not be treated as an error.  (Bill
-      Nottingham)
+    - Fixed a bug in the reading of the secrets file (by the daemon) and
+      the password file (by the client):  the files no longer need to be
+      terminated by a newline for their content to be read in.
 
-      http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=62489
+    - If a file has a read error on the sending side, the receiver will
+      no longer keep the resulting file unless the --partial option was
+      specified.  (Note:  both sides must be running 2.6.3 for this to
+      work -- older receivers always keep the file, and older senders
+      don't tell the receiver that the file was not read correctly.)
+
+    - Fixed an age-old crash problem with --read-batch on a local copy
+      (rsync was improperly assuming --whole-file for the local copy).
+
+    - Files specified in the daemon's "exclude" or "exclude from" config
+      items are now excluded from being uploaded (assuming that the module
+      allows uploading at all) in addition to the old download exclusion.
+
+    - Got rid of a potential hang in the receiver when near the end of a
+      phase.
+
+    - When using --backup without a --backup-dir, rsync no longer preserves
+      the modify time on directories.  This avoids confusing NFS.
+
+    - When --copy-links (-L) is specified, we now output a separate error
+      for a symlink that has no referent instead of claiming that a file
+      "vanished".
+
+    - Error messages from the daemon server's option-parsing (such as
+      refused options) now get sent back to the client (the server used
+      to just exit).
+
+    - Fixed a bug in the daemon authentication code when using one of the
+      batch-processing options.
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    - Added --keep-dirlinks (-K), which allows you to symlink a directory
+      onto another patition on the receiving side and have rsync treat it
+      as matching a normal directory from the sender.
+
+    - Added the "write only" option to the daemon's config file.
+
+    - Added long-option names for -4 and -6 (namely --ipv4 and --ipv6)
+      and documented all these options in the man page.
+
+    - Improved the handling of the --bwlimit option so that it's less
+      bursty, more accurate, and works properly over a larger range of
+      values.
+
+    - The rsync daemon-over-ssh code now looks for SSH_CONNECTION and
+      SSH2_CLIENT in addition to SSH_CLIENT to figure out the IP address.
+
+    - Added the --checksum-seed=N option for advanced users.
 
   INTERNAL:
 
-    * Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation.  (Martin 
-      Pool, Nelson Beebe)
+    - Some cleanup in the exclude code has saved some per-exclude memory
+      and made the code easier to maintain.
+
+    - Use rsyserr() in the various places that were still calling
+      rprintf() with strerror() as an arg.
+
+  BUILD CHANGES:
+
+    - Added a "gen" target to rebuild most of the generated files,
+      including configure, config.h.in, the man pages, and proto.h.
+
+    - If "make proto" doesn't find some changes in the prototypes, the
+      proto.h file is left untouched (its timestamp used to always be
+      updated).
+
+  DEVELOPER RELATED:
+
+    - The scripts in the testsuite dir were cleaned up a bit.
 
-    * More test cases.  (Martin Pool)
+    - A few new diffs were added to the patches dir, and some accepted
+      ones were removed.
