+NEWS for rsync 2.6.1 (UNRELEASED)
+Protocol: 27 (unchanged)
+Changes since 2.6.0:
+
+  ENHANCEMENTS:
+
+    * The RSYNC_PROXY environment variable can now contain a
+      "USER:PASS@" prefix before the "HOST:PORT" information.
+      (Bardur Arantsson)
+
+    * Lower memory use and more optimal transfer of file data.
+      (see the INTERNAL section).
+
+  BUG FIXES:
+
+    * The --link-dest code now works properly for a non-root user
+      when the UIDs of the source and destination differ and -u was
+      specified, and when the group of the source can't be used on
+      the destination and -g was specified.  (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Fixed a bug in the handling of -H (hard-links) that might
+      cause the expanded PATH/NAME value of the current item to
+      get overwritten (due to an expanded-name caching bug).
+      (Wayne Davison)
+      
+    * Keep per-file track of the sending of literal data with
+      --partial so that an interrupted transfer doesn't keep a
+      shorter temp file when no new data has been transfered over
+      the wire.
+
+    * Fixed a byte-order problem in --batch-mode on big-endian
+      machines.  (Jay Fenlason)
+
+  INTERNAL:
+
+    * Most of the I/O is now buffered, which results in a pretty
+      large speedup when running under MS Windows.  (Craig Barratt)
+
+    * Optimizations to the name-handling/comparing code have made
+      some significant reductions in user CPU time for large file
+      sets.  (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Some variable-type cleanup that makes the code more consistent.
+      (Wayne Davison)
+
+    * Reduced memory requirements of hard link preservation.
+      (J.W.  Schultz)
+
+    * Got rid of support for protocol versions 17 and 18 (which are
+      both over 6 years old).
+
+    * More optimal data transmission for --hard-links (protocol 28).
+
+    * More optimal data transmission for --checksum (protocol 28).
+
+    * Less memory used for holding --checksum data.
