Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
Changes since version 2.5.6:

--*-from options. (Wayne Davison)
BUG FIXES:
- Fixed a crash bug when interacting with older rsync versions and
multiple files of the same name are destined for the same dir.
(Wayne Davison)
- Keep tmp names from overflowing MAXPATHLEN.
INTERNAL:
- Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped
supporting. (J.W. Schultz)
- Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison)
NEWS for rsync version 2.5.6, aka the dwd-between-jobs release
Protocol: 26 (unchanged)
Changes since version 2.5.5:
ENHANCEMENTS:
* The --delete-after option now implies --delete. (Wayne Davison)
* The --suffix option can now be used with --backup-dir. (Michael
Zimmerman)
* Combining "::" syntax with the -rsh/-e option now uses the
specified remote-shell as a transport to talk to a (newly-spawned)
server-daemon. This allows someone to use daemon features, such
as modules, over a secure protocol, such as ssh. (JD Paul)
* The rsync:// syntax for daemon connections is now accepted in the
destination field.
* If the file name given to --include-from or --exclude-from is "-",
rsync will read from standard input. (J.W. Schultz)
* New option --link-dest which is like --compare-dest except that
unchanged files are hard-linked in to the destination directory.
(J.W. Schultz)
* Don't report an error if an excluded file disappears during an
rsync run. (Eugene Chupriyanov and Bo Kersey)
* Added .svn to --cvs-exclude list to support subversion. (Jon
Middleton)
* Properly support IPv6 addresses in the rsyncd.conf "hosts allow"
and "hosts deny" fields. (Hideaki Yoshifuji)
* Changed exclude file handling to permit DOS or MAC style line
terminations. (J.W. Schultz)
* Ignore errors from chmod when -p/-a/--preserve-perms is not set.
(Dave Dykstra)
BUG FIXES:
* Fix "forward name lookup failed" errors on AIX 4.3.3. (John
L. Allen, Martin Pool)
* Generate each file's rolling-checksum data as we send it, not
in a separate (memory-eating) pass before hand. This prevents
timeout errors on really large files. (Stefan Nehlsen)
* Fix compilation on Tru64. (Albert Chin, Zoong Pham)
* Better handling of some client-server errors. (Martin Pool)
* Fixed a crash that would occur when sending a list of files that
contains a duplicate name (if it sorts to the end of the file
list) and using --delete. (Wayne Davison)
* Fixed the file-name duplicate-removal code when dealing with multiple
dups in a row. (Wayne Davison)
* Fixed a bug that caused rsync to lose the exit status of its child
processes and sometimes return an exit code of 0 instead of showing
an error. (David R. Staples, Dave Dykstra)
* Fixed bug in --copy-unsafe-links that caused it to be completely
broken. (Dave Dykstra)
* Prevent infinite recursion in cleanup code under certain circumstances.
(Sviatoslav Sviridov and Marc Espie)
* Fixed a bug that prevented rsync from creating intervening directories
when --relative-paths/-R is set. (Craig Barratt)
* Prevent "Connection reset by peer" messages from Cygwin. (Randy O'Meara)
INTERNAL:
* Many code cleanups and improved internal documentation. (Martin
Pool, Nelson Beebe)
* Portability fixes. (Dave Dykstra and Wayne Davison)
* More test cases. (Martin Pool)
* Some test-case fixes. (Brian Poole, Wayne Davison)
* Updated included popt to the latest vendor drop, version 1.6.4.
(Jos Backus)
* Updated config.guess and config.sub to latest versions; this
means rsync should build on more platforms. (Paul Green)
